New-to-me author and a new psychological thriller makes for a great weekend of reading.

Same train - every morning - everything the same - until one morning when Rachel sees something shocking and then nothing is the same again.

This tale is told from the POV of three different voices - one is an alcoholic, another a liar, and the other a cheater, making this story even more intriguing. Behind closed doors no one can ever be sure what is taking place.

An impressively written dark and gritty thrille

A compulsively readable mystery that falls apart at the end. More of a 2.5.

1. Don't drink
2. Don't spy on people/do mind your own business

I'm probably six months behind everyone in reading this, but it was worth the wait. This book was well-written and kept me guessing right up to the end. I was afraid this book was going to be a watered down version of Gone Girl, but it wasn't. There is a similar feel to the story (in a "if you like Gone Girl, you'll like Girl on the Train" kind of way), but it is a very different book. I highly recommend this one and will look forward to reading more from Ms. Hawkins. ...more

My husband and I listened to this on our vacation. Having one of the three narrators be an admitted alcoholic was an interesting twist, especially as she struggled to figure out what happened during her blackouts. The changing perspectives also added to the suspense and allowed the reader's views of the three main female narrators to evolve. But we figured out the who done it part by halfway through the tale. ...more
