Paula Hawkins’s mystery fiction “The Girl on The Train,” just published on January 13 is currently the top seller on Apple’s iBooks.
From the window of her train, troubled alcoholic Rachel Watson watches the world. Specifically she watches a couple who are frequently out on their terrace at the very point her train stops every day.
She gives them made up names and pretends their lives are the perfect happy-ever-after that she never had.
Then Megan (the girl from Rachel’s fantasy couple) goes missing, and Rachel finds herself an integral character in the police investigation, because she was seen stalking the neighborhood the night of the disappearance.
She also has wounds on her body that can’t be explained.
“The Girl on The Train” is very well written with credible and realistic characters. Let me just say that the twists and turns in this story will easily draw readers in, making it easy to quickly finish this book.
