Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller “The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl. . . . [It] is liable to draw a large, bedazzled readership.”—The New York Times “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 … pages.”—The Boston Globe
“Gone Girl fans will devour this psychological thriller.”—People
A debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people’s lives.
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. 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.
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 offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?
Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.

Well written story with well developed characters and a lot of suspense. Highly recommend.
Predictable book. I knew the ending half way in.
For the majority of the book, Rachel was just plain annoying but the story was still really intriguing and I couldn’t put it down. The twist wasn’t as mind-blowingly amazing as I had expected but that might be due to the fact that there was so much hype about the twist. The twist was pretty good though and I was pretty close to guessing what it …
A great mystery intertwining relationships distrust and deceipt throughout.
great book full of suspenseful twists and turns. Whether you’ve seen the movie or not, you will love the book.
This book was recommended by a friend. I was looking for something to read. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was.
I didn’t care for the main character. She was a little too pathetic.
Everyone was saying that this book is the next “Gone Girl” & after reading the book I understand the comparison. It is a completely different story but the way it kept me turning the pages well into the early morning hours definitely made the long tiring day at work the next day worth it. Even after I finished the book I couldn’t stop thinking …
A great book. Unexpected ending!
I didn’t see the ending coming. Great page turner right up to the very last page!
Good. Liked it while reading but remember little about it now.
I read this for a book club. It was okay, but I found it very drawn out and tiresome.
This was an interesting read. I enjoyed the multiple points of view, because that gave me a bit more insight into the three “main” characters in the book. All the chapters are in first person, and there’s a lot of inner monologue, especially when it comes to Rachel.
I felt bad for Rachel. I can empathize with the addiction piece she dealt with, …
I couldn’t really get into this book. Got tired of reading about her trips on the train
Kept me guessing until the end…I figure out most plots before the reveal, but not this one!
The Girl On The Train was such page turner. I have yet to read another book like it. Not once was I able to predict the characters next moves. Brilliant!
Crazy page turner.
Could not put this book down. So disappointed when it was over.
For me it took a while to develop then it became a page turner. I enjoyed the development of characters and the twist throughout the story.
Good read!
too long & drawn out it was ok but not up to the hype
