Author: Paula Hawkins
This is a plain and simple block-buster. You don’t have to take my word for it, just see what people are buying week after week. As of today (April 17th) “The Girl on the train” is running 13 weeks as number 1 on the NY Times best seller list. Now that I have read it, I can see why.
There are just a handful of characters in the book and Paula Hawkins starts slow with a peek into the sad life of Rachel who takes the train back and forth each day. Rachel wistfully looks out the window and focuses her attention on the inhabitants of one particular house along the way. Paul tells the story from different perspectives and time periods just like the book “Gone Girl”. This one however sucks you in, twists you around and spits you out with your head spinning. I loved it.
