You'll be surprised by what horrors lurk around the bend.”—USA Today “Like its train, the story blasts through the stagnation of these lives in suburban London and the reader cannot help but turn pages.”—The Boston Globe“Gone Girl fans will devour this psychological thriller.”—People EVERY DAY THE SAMERachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night.

"Listened to this on audiobook. Kept me entertained and wanting to know what happened next. Honestly, none of the characters are very likeable because of how screwed up they are, but it felt real and raw in that way. It does put you in the mindset of someone struggling with alcohol abuse, so could be triggering for some people. The twist was both predictable and surprising in some ways. "
"This was a great suspense/thriller. It was easy to jump into the story and the characters were well written. I couldn't put it down once everything started to unfold. It gave me "the woman in the window" vibes, even though this came first. I finished it in 1 day. Great read."
