The Rachel Krall series follows a true-crime podcaster whose investigations take her into communities where the truth has been buried. The Night Swim (2020) puts Krall in a seaside town covering a sexual assault trial, only for her to discover a connected drowning from years earlier. Dark Corners (2023) continues with another case where small-town secrecy protects the guilty.
Megan Goldin uses the podcast framing to structure the mysteries, with Krall’s investigations unfolding for both the reader and her audience simultaneously. The series deals with serious themes, particularly violence against women and institutional cover-ups, while maintaining the pace and tension of a commercial thriller.
