THE RUNAWAY GLOBAL BESTSELLER
”Really great suspense novel. Kept me up most of the night. The alcoholic narrator is dead perfect” STEPHEN KING
Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She”s even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. ”Jess and Jason”, she calls them. Their life – as she sees it – is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy.
And then she sees something shocking. It”s only a minute until the train moves on, but it”s enough.
Now everything”s changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she”s only watched from afar.
Now they”ll see; she”s much more than just the girl on the train. . .

Review quote:
Really great suspense novel. Kept me up most of the night. The alcoholic narrator is dead perfect.
Review quote:
The thriller scene will have to up its game if it”s to match Hawkins this year
Review quote:
A complex and increasingly chilling tale courtesy of a number of first-person narratives that will wrong-foot even the most experienced of crime fiction readers
Review quote:
achieves a sinister poetry . . . Hawkins keeps the nastiest twist for last
Review quote:
Hawkins” masterful deployment of unwittingly unreliable narration to evoke the aftershocks of abuse and trauma is a powerful way of exploring women”s marginalization
Review quote:
Springs new surprises on us . . .Pulses will be quickened
Review quote:
The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl
Review quote:
Halfway through and I can”t stop reading it. My kinda thriller!
Review quote:
it”s BLIDDY FABLISS, isn”t it! A long long time since a book gripped me like this
Review quote:
The Girl on the Train is one of those delicious thrillers that can be devoured in four sittings, that”s two return journeys on a typical train trip! There”s a whiff of Agatha Christie and a dollop of Gone Girl with plenty of blind alleys that we happily wander up and get lost in. Pick it up, solve the crime and pass it on . . .
