The girl on the train by Paula Hawkins

"The girl on the train" by Paula Hawkins. This book is published by Random House in 2015 and has 320 pages.

Rachel is divorced from Tom due to her habit of drinking and not remembering what she did in drunk state. She watches the house where she used to live with her ex husband and it's neighbourhood, especially a fine couple, from train every day. The lady, of this couple, disappears. Rachel has some information.

Is her information useful? Is it real or a figment of her imagination? Will anyone believe her? Will the paranoia of her ex husband's current wife put her in trouble?

This is a psycho thriller. A lot of things happen and the reader keeps wondering if this is real or Rachel only thinks it is real. The story is centered around three ladies and their husbands / lovers. At times the story slows down but keeps you interested.

This book is narrated in monologues. These are monologues of these ladies. Rachel, her husband's wife and the missing lady.

It's a different kind of story and different kind of narration. This book was the most sold book on Amazon.in last year. Though it is good, I did not find it that good.

Read for a change.
