Winner of the 2016 Audie Award for Audiobook of the Year.

Includes an exclusive extract from Paula Hawkins' scorching new thriller A Slow Fire Burning, read by Rosamund Pike.

Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She's even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. 'Jess and Jason', she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy.

And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough.

Now everything's changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she's only watched from afar.

Now they'll see; she's much more than just the girl on the train...

'Gripping, enthralling - a top-notch thriller and a compulsive read.' SJ Watson, bestselling author of BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP

Critic reviews

Really great suspense novel. Kept me up most of the night. The alcoholic narrator is dead perfect.

The thriller scene will have to up its game if it's to match Hawkins this year

A complex and increasingly chilling tale courtesy of a number of first-person narratives that will wrong-foot even the most experienced of crime fiction readers

achieves a sinister poetry . . . Hawkins keeps the nastiest twist for last

Hawkins' masterful deployment of unwittingly unreliable narration to evoke the aftershocks of abuse and trauma is a powerful way of exploring women's marginalization

Springs new surprises on us . . .Pulses will be quickened

The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl

Halfway through and I can't stop reading it. My kinda thriller!

it's BLIDDY FABLISS, isn't it! A long long time since a book gripped me like this

The Girl on the Train is one of those delicious thrillers that can be devoured in four sittings, that's two return journeys on a typical train trip! There's a whiff of Agatha Christie and a dollop of Gone Girl with plenty of blind alleys that we happily wander up and get lost in. Pick it up, solve the crime and pass it on . . .

Fantastic

A really great story, very intriguing and original, read by wonderful voice actors who fit the story perfectly - highly recommended.

Brilliantly read - a real treat

Loved the different voices, sorry to finish it, but it got me to France & back!

Great narrating lightened the story

The story was a bit slow moving at the beginning but got better and exciting towards the end. Too predictable. Good flow and very entertaining.

great story!!

great book and storyline.
narrators were very good although i was a bit annoyed by Anna's way of speaking like a robot and the psychologist fake accent

breath-taking

can't wait to complete it after you begin it. the way story is telled is awesome, three characters. three life, each with their own cycology and their demand from life, all this juggles to form a great suspense thriller. the way is naarated is spellbound.
