Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. 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.
And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?
About the Author....
Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive bestselling author Paula Hawkins, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.
"The concept sounded amazing, and it got off to a promising...if slow...start. But it quickly turned into this messy, melodramatic story that was neither surprising, or original. Much like in Gone Girl, there was not a single likable character in the entire book. That wasn't the main problem for me, though. I could see the ending coming from a mile away. Actually more like I figured out who the main villan was within the first 20 pages. Never a ringing endorsement." - Brenda Scott |

"This was the last book read that I needed to complete my yearly challenge and it was fantastically suspenseful. More so when you consider that it is the authors first thriller." - Nicole Brown |

"Well. I didn't really know what type of book this was when I got obsessed with the idea of reading it; or rather, I got an incorrect impression stuck in my head and fixated on that. Too late, I realised it was a fairly typical thriller, and that my reading it seems to go against things I have said recently about refocusing my reading energy, and things I have said less recently (and more than once) about swearing off this kind of book. I do seem to find it hard to stay away from them." -Michael Thomson |
