About this listen
The New York Times best seller and USA Today Book of the Year, soon to be a major motion picture starring Emily Blunt.
The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives.
Every day the same
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. 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.
Until today
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 goes to the police. But is she really as unreliable as they say? Soon she is deeply entangled not only in the investigation but in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?

Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: She must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful 13-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims - a bit too strongly.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 473
Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas". As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived, and famously testified that her 15-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who've long forgotten her.

Anna Fox lives alone - a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times...and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenaged son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn't, her world begins to crumble. And its shocking secrets are laid bare.

What the critics say
"The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl.... The Girl on the Train is liable to draw a large, bedazzled readership too.... The Girl on the Train is full of back-stabbing, none of it literal." (Janet Maslin, The New York Times)
"The Girl on the Train marries movie noir with novelistic trickery...hang on tight. 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 welcome echoes of Rear Window throughout the story and its propulsive narrative make The Girl on the Train an absorbing read." (The Boston Globe)

Fantastic, thrilling, suspensful
I love how the different characters had different voices, also enjoyed how it was written as almost journal entries, bouncing back and forth through the timeline. really enjoyed the book, and the audio format, bravo Paula Hawkins and to the ladies who narrated.

Kept us on the edge of our bed
Got a bit confusing but figuring out who did it was not too obvious. The way each character revisits the same passage of time is interesting too. All in all a good listen and helped pass the time while relaxing at the lake.

Great "Read!"
I decided to listen to this book long after the hype of it had died down and I had completely forgotten all I had heard of this novel in passing (I also never watched the movie). While the story was entertaining, unfortunately, I was able to figure out rather early on who did it, which is always disappointing for me as I like to be able to keep guesing right up until the killer is revealed.

Choked me with the plot twists.
Love the fact how it took a huge turn. But it was slow paced in the beginning and overall it was kinda a slow book. Also like ve the character development and their secrets.
