Pat C. asked this question about The Girl on the Train:
If I hated "Gone Girl" am I going to hate "The Girl on the Train"? Obviously not looking for someone with a crystal ball, just informed (like you've read both books and "they're not really that much alike") opinions.

If you like reading psychological thrillers and didn't like "Gone Girl" for specific reasons, you might give this a try. If you're not a fan of the genre, I'd pass.

Other writers that come to mind as comparables: Stieg Larsson, Dennis Lehane, Patricia Highsmith.(less)
