This popular thriller is ideal to take on a plane trip – no matter
how bumpy the ride or annoying the airport, it will take you mind off of
everything but the fast moving plot.
Like Gone girl, the narrator,
Rachel, and most of the characters are unlikable and flawed. Rachel has been divorced by her husband after
just too many drunken days and nights.
She’s lost her job, but pretends she is still working to avoid being
kicked out by her flat mate. Each day as
she rides the train into London and back, she has the opportunity to gaze at
her own former house along the tracks, now shared by her ex-husband with his
second wife, Anna, and their baby girl.
The train always slows at this point and she also fantasizes about
another couple who live a few doors away and who she frequently sees – they seem
perfect and in love. Then one day she
sees something disturbing going on….. Will
the police believe her? 323 pp.
