Reviews"[A] psychologically astute debut. . . . The surprise-packed narratives hurtle toward a stunning climax, horrifying as a train wreck and just as riveting." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Desperate to find lives more fulfilling than her own, a lonely London commuter imagines the story of a couple she's only glimpsed through the train window in Hawkins' chilling, assured debut, in which the line between truth and lie constantly shifts like the rocking of a train. . . . Even the most astute readers will be in for a shock as Hawkins slowly unspools the facts, exposing the harsh realities of love and obsession's inescapable links to violence." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review 'A thriller that grabs you from the first page and takes you on a high speed ride full of twists and turns. Gazing out of the train window will never be the same again!' --Colette McBeth, author of Precious Thing and the forthcoming The Life I Left Behind "Like most Londoners, Paula Hawkins became very familiar with the daily commute. But unlike most passengers, she has turned her experiences of being on a packed train, gazing idly out of the window at the back of houses, into a terrific psychological thriller. . . . I can safely predict this impressive, accomplished thriller will be everywhere--look out for it on your daily commute." -- The Bookseller "The pace and tension of the plot never jump the track. This novel will leave you as breathless as a ride on the new, high-speed commuter train in London." --Roberta Rich, author of the international bestseller THE MIDWIFE OF VENICE "What a group of characters, what a situation, what a book! It's Alfred Hitchcock for a new generation and a new era." --Terry Hayes "Gripping, enthralling--a top-notch thriller and a compulsive read." --S. J. Watson, author of Before I Go to Sleep "Clever and compelling. Hawkins keeps the tension ratcheted high in this thoroughly engrossing tale of intersecting strangers and intimate betrayals. Kept me guessing until the very end!' --Lisa Gardner, author of Fear Nothing "This is unputdownable. . . . A fast, clever thriller with a flawed, entertaining heroine." --Paula Daly, author of Keep Your Friends Close ' The Girl on the Train was so thrilling and tense and wildly unpredictable, it sucked up my entire afternoon. I simply could not put it down. Not to be missed!' --Tess Gerritsen, ' The Girl on the Train was so thrilling and tense and wildly unpredictable, it sucked up my entire afternoon.
