This is the book
that I’ve hearing buzz about since the spring for all those fans of
psychological thrillers like Gone Girl.
Yep, that’s exactly who would love this book.
Rachel Watson takes
the train to work every day and watches the houses go by through the
window. The train typically stops at the
same spot every day and Rachel arranges her seating so she can look at this one
house and see the couple who live there.
One day, she sees something unusual out the window. The next day she discovers that the woman has
gone missing. Rachel desperately wants
to help but events from her life make her hesitant to speak out.
If you are a fan of
unreliable narrators then this is the book for you. You can’t believe anything anyone tells you
(and there are three narrators) because they all have their own perceptions of
reality. You do learn early on that
Rachel has a problem with alcohol (a huge problem actually) but that is just
the start. She is a complex character
that I found myself disliking intensely then warming up to as the book went on
and I learned more about her past and present.
Place your holds
now since this book isn’t being released until January 13th.
