5 🌟 now that was a thriller. I enjoyed the playing with the readers head. I swear I felt as if I was becoming crazy lol.
Anna stuck in her home due to her medical condition. Only way for her to pass time is to watch her neighbors, drink wine, take pills, sleep and watch old movies. But wine, pills and thriller movies don't mix well when she witnesses her neighbor being murder. Or do she? Police doesn't believe her.
It's crazy how there's so many twists I gotten confused for a second lol. But I di ...more

Really great psychological thriller. Went a bit slow at times, but I liked the twists and turns and found the characters compelling, generally-speaking. Some things I guessed, some things I didn't, which is a mark of a good thriller, no? I don't read that many, but I've always wanted to get going on a psychological thriller kick, and hopefully this was the beginning of a good one.

Not sure how to write reviews for these books though ... because don't want to give anything away. Lol. Will say that ...more

The Woman on the Train was a quick easy read. It was well-written and kept my attention but not quite as suspenseful or thrilling as one might want from this genre of books. While parts were predictable and easily figured out, other parts did hold some mystery and intrigue. I was unable to bond with or like the heroine whose actions angered me more than arose my sympathy.

Shelves: drama, suspense

Very film-noir-esque, with lots of references to Hitchcock films, and plenty of twists and turns with the plot line. I’ve read enough novels like this that I felt as though the other characters were obligated to not believe her for the sake of the plot line, even though the situation was getting progressively worse. I mean, seriously, if someone was in her house taking photos of her while she slept, you’d hope that the police would take it a tad bit more seriously. Still, I found her character i ...more

This was a great read. Suspenseful and fun, with twists I did not expect (although maybe I should've seen them coming but I was sick while reading this, hence slower than usual).

I really enjoyed the writing. I cannot say I was 100% captivated, especially in the last few chapters - but until the big reveal it was a lot of fun! ...more

The protagonist in the book loves old black and white movies like Gaslight and Rebecca. And that is how this book reads,the suspense just keeps on building.

Actually, pretty enjoyable and interesting story. There are some slow moments, but still the language is simple enough. It reads pretty quickly, you really want to keep turning pages so that you could know the end)

No regrets about reading this one)
