The Girl on the Train
by Paula Hawkins
(336 pages)
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?
Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.
