“The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl. . . . [It] is liable to draw a large, bedazzled readership.”—The New York Times

“Marries movie noir with novelistic trickery. . . hang on tight. You'll be surprised by what horrors lurk around the bend.”—USA Today

“Gone Girl fans will devour this psychological thriller.”—People


EVERY DAY THE SAME
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. 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.

UNTIL TODAY
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 goes to the police. But is she really as unreliable as they say? Soon she is deeply entangled not only in the investigation but in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?

Thrilling!

The performance is great. It helps to have 3 different voices while listening to this book.

Solid for the majority.

First 3/4 were wonderfully done and kept me constantly guessing and interested. Last 1/4 it seemed almost too obvious and after a certain revelation it lost that spark and became like a game of clue.

The Anna narrator made it hard to listen to at those parts, but they did not come often.

Started slow then kept getting better

I did not like most of the people in this book but I did like Rachel. This was quite far fetched but I enjoyed it more and more. It is worth the credit. The tension builds to a good conclusion.

A good storyline

Good audiobook but I listened to better. It as long chapters and repetitive events - b

Great book! I recommend it!

I loved it. I was hooked on it. couldn't stop listening to it. strongly recommend it.
