Book Review: “The Girl on the Train” by Paula Hawkins – A Thriller That Will Keep You Guessing
“You don’t know her. But she knows you.”
That tagline alone sold millions of copies, and after reading The Girl on the Train, you’ll understand why. Paula Hawkins’ debut psychological thriller is a masterclass in suspense – the kind of book that makes you miss your train stop because you simply cannot put it down.
What’s It About?
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day, she watches the same couple in their garden – what she calls their “perfect life.” But when the woman goes missing, Rachel becomes entangled in the mystery. The catch? Rachel is an unreliable narrator with a drinking problem and gaps in her memory. Can she trust what she saw? Can you?
