Looking for a quick summer read? The Girl on a Train is a thrilling page turner
which will keep you guessing until the end. Utilizing alternate points of view, the style
recalls Gillian Flynn’s 2012 hit Gone Girl. The author uses our natural voyeuristic
tendencies and the mundane action of commuting to make the main character and
storyline relatable.
Set in South London, Rachel, the girl on the train, looks
longingly at her previous neighbors who seem to have a perfect relationship.
Now divorced and struggling with binge drinking, Rachel imagines the couple she
sees from her commute as having the life she wanted.
Suddenly, the woman goes missing and Rachel feels as if she may have something to do with her disappearance. Rachel begins to insert herself into the investigation but is hampered by her personal struggles and the complicated relationship with her ex-husband and his new wife and child.
It’s a suspenseful and twisted ride to discover the truth
behind the woman’s disappearance. The
characters are each uniquely flawed which renders them more believable. The Girl on a Train is fascinating thriller I
highly recommend.
