Reviewed by Desere This was a really interesting read. It dips in to the lives of various characters , with really fantastic insight.
The main focus is on Rachel, she takes the exact same commuter train every single morning. It rattles down the tracks, past piles of old clothes, dirt and various houses.
But from all the houses it passes the one that get's Rachael's undivided attention every single day is the one where " Jess and Jason " lives. The couple intrigue Rachael, they fascinate her like no other. Then one morning as the train passes the house, Rachael sees something, it's only for a split second and the train is pass, but it's enough to make Rachael go to the police, but has this caused more harm than good?
Fast paced and a nice even flow are the first things I have to say about this read, it moved from point a to b at a really good pace, none of that stop start that is found in so many similar reads, that my dear reading friends drive me crazy !
I really loved the mystery in this book, but sadly I figured it out too quickly and I felt a little cheated that I was able to get it so fast.
Now that we have that out of the way I can tell you all about the most amazing part of this read, the unrealiable narrator , man it drove me crazy at first but then suddenly it all just became clear and it was like some kind of high to try and outsmart the narrator.
To sum it up , this is a terrific read for any reader that loves a great mystery, lots of emotional drama and loads of guessing if you don't pay attention. Don't start reading this one if it's late at night , because after the third chapter it really grips the reader!
