The Girl on the Train
By Paula Hawkins
Paula Hawkins’ debut novel tells the story of a divorced alcoholic, Rachel, who passes the same suburban neighborhood during her daily train commute. She makes up stories about a couple that lives in one of the homes, fantasizing about their idealistic life. But one day, during her train’s routine stop near the neighborhood, Rachel witnesses something shocking.
Widely regarded as a Hitchcock-esque thriller with an exhilarating flow comparable to Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train has sailed to the top of the New York Times bestsellers list in recent months.
