"Gripping, enthralling--a top-notch thriller and a compulsive read."--S. J. Watson, New York Times-bestselling author of Before I Go to Sleep
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.
On January 4, 2015, the New York Times featured an incredible, quotable and selling review from Janet Maslin on the front of the Arts section: The girl on the train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl. Click HERE to read the review.
The Boston Globe ran a rave review praising: “Like its train, the story blasts through the stagnation of these lives in suburban London and the reader cannot help but turn pages... The welcome echoes of Rear Window throughout the story and its propulsive narrative make The girl on the train an absorbing read.” Click HERE to read the review.
Bustle includes The girl on the train in their Best Books of January roundup, asserting: “I’m calling it now: The girl on the train is the next Gone Girl. Paula Hawkins’ highly anticipated debut novel is a dark, gripping thriller with the shocking ending you crave in a noir-ish mystery.” Click HERE to read the review.
