It already became a habit for her to look at the tenants of that house whenever the train makes its sudden stop at the particular part of the railway track. It’s a different house where a couple lives. The place where she and her ex-husband, Tom, lived and where his new wife, Anna, and their small daughter now lived.īut it’s not their house that she’s fascinated about. On his journey to and from her supposed to be “work”, the bus always stops outside a neighborhood and coincidentally it’s Rachel’s old neighborhood. She does that to fool her always worried housemate, Cathy. Despite losing her job months ago, because of going to work drunk, she still takes the train to and from Euston every day. The main character, who is the girl in the train, is a middle-aged, unemployed and divorced alcoholic named Rachel. I learned that he previously wrote some chic-lits using a pseudonym. The Girl on the Train is Paula Hawkin’s first official novel. We have this memory blackout, complex love affairs, domestic drama, authorities doubting the real witness and surprise twists. The book has this classic mystery feel to it with all the elements well presented. I have high expectation of this book considering that I’m always seeing rave reviews of this in YouTube and I can say that this somewhat lived up to the hype. I have this occasional fond for mystery books and I can say that this book satisfied me.
