A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the
river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a
vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the
first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths
disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long
submerged.
Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl.
Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care
of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been
dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from—a
place to which she vowed she'd never return.
With the same propulsive writing and acute
understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of
readers around the world in her explosive debut
thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins
delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying read that
hinges on the deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as
the devastating ways that the past can reach a long arm into
the present.
Beware a calm surface—you never know what lies
beneath.
