Perfect mini-review of this book. I really enjoyed it as well!The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins
A suspense book filled with twists and turns and a bevy of unreliable narrators.
An onion of a book where story peels away to new reveals. Same goes for the characters who are both compelling and repellant - often at the same time.
Tightly paced and plotted, the book rarely flags and the book's opening conceit of a woman taking a London bound commuter train past her previous place of residence works well in that Alfred Hitchcock - Rear Window - voyeuristic way to hook this reader into the story.
Hawkins's grasp of pacing is perfect as she keeps this conceit going alive until just the right moment and then releases the reader and the story out of the train and shifts the narrative focus out into the world to race to the climax.
Fun read.
