I devoured this book! The Drowning Woman switched between the perspectives of 2 women, Lee a homeless woman down on her luck and living out of her car and Hazel, a rich housewife who claims she is being abused by her husband. The 2 women form an unlikely bond when Lee rescues Hazel from drowning and prevents her from ending her life. 

I loved the dual character perspectives. There were times that we, the reader, knew what was happening before the other characters. I found myself rooting for both Lee and Hazel a happy ending. Parts of this story had me questioning what was the truth and what was the lie! 

This book had everything I LOVE in a thriller.. mystery, suspense, plot twists, unreliable characters, drama, short cliffhanger chapters! I would totally recommend to anyone that likes a good thriller that is equal parts, plot and character driven!
