A debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives.
“Gripping, enthralling—a top-notch thriller and a compulsive read.”—S. J. Watson, New York Times–bestselling author of Before I Go to Sleep
Rachel takes the same commuter
train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a
stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her
to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even
started to feel like she knows them. “Jess and Jason,” she calls them.
Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently
lost.
And then she sees something
shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough.
Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers
what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what
happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done
more harm than good?
Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.
