The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
Like the train that is the setting of this debut thriller, the book hurls the reader toward the horrifying climax that will keep the reader guessing until the end. As the heroine (well, heroine is not exactly how the main character, Rachel, can be described) looks out of the window of the train on her daily commute, she fantasizes about the people she sees from her seat. A young couple who she imagines to have the “perfect” life and lives down the block from the house she used to share with her ex-husband are the targets of her chaotic imagination.
With all the elements of a good thriller, this debut novel is a page turner that will keep you loving and loathing the main character. The comparisons to Gone Girl are worthwhile and will make you want more.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
