"The Girl on the Train"

"The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins
Published by Riverhead (a member of Penguin Group)
I read the paperback ARC (borrowed from friend) - finished 1/24/15


4.5/5 stars


Worthy of all the praise it is receiving - consider it a must read!  I finished it in 2 days because I never wanted to put it down. 


This is a GREAT "who done it" novel told by 3 different narrators - an alcoholic that has missing and disjointed memories; a woman with a past that haunts her; and the woman who stole the alcoholic's husband.  All 3 are dysfunctional in their own way and draw you further into the story.  When one goes missing - is it foul play?  If so, who is to blame?  You will change your opinion multiple times throughout the book.  I can't tell you more without giving it away so you'll need to read it and figure it out on your own.  Just be ready for a roller-coaster ride when you do.
