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.
One day, she sees something shocking and now everything’s changed. Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next. Has she done more harm than good?
The Girl on the Train is an immersive thriller and an electrifying debut by Paula Hawkins.
