A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged. Left behind is a lonely 15-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from - a place to which she vowed she'd never return.

Too Much Skipping Around
Revisado: 08-13-17
The back-and-forth style of storytelling in order to establish backstories worked fine in Gone Girl an Girl on the Train, because it was used for only a few characters. In this case, the author chose to do it for EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER. It became cumbersome trying to keep up with it all.

No Story Dividers?
Revisado: 01-10-16
What disappointed you about The Very Best Classic Short Stories?
Who doesn't know that in a book of many parts you at least give chapter breaks? this one doesn't even provide breaks between short stories - it goes seamlessly from one chapter to the next then one story to the next without even taking a pause in breath.
Would you recommend The Very Best Classic Short Stories to your friends? Why or why not?
No. Boring
How could the performance have been better?
Performance was OK, but the lack of a break between chapters or even stories made it all monotonous.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Not for me.
Any additional comments?
Nope

The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

Twists & turns. I loved it. That's all I have to say, but this damned app is determined to make me say more before submitting.
