On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge.

Story
Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: She must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful 13-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims - a bit too strongly.

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening, her husband, Gabriel, returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety.

Story
Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas". As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived, and famously testified that her 15-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who've long forgotten her.

Nicky and her son, Miles, are classmates and best friends, and the five-year-olds love being together - just like she and Emily.

But Emily doesn't come back.

Great story, not my favourite narrator

Written by: Darcey Bell
Publisher's Summary
The New York Times best seller and USA Today Book of the Year, soon to be a major motion picture starring Emily Blunt.
The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives.
Every day the same
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She's even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.
Until today
And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel goes to the police. But is she really as unreliable as they say? Soon she is deeply entangled not only in the investigation but in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?
What the critics say
"The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl.... The Girl on the Train is liable to draw a large, bedazzled readership too.... The Girl on the Train is full of back-stabbing, none of it literal." (Janet Maslin, The New York Times)
"The Girl on the Train marries movie noir with novelistic trickery...hang on tight. You'll be surprised by what horrors lurk around the bend." (USA Today)
"Like its train, the story blasts through the stagnation of these lives in suburban London and the reader cannot help but turn pages.... The welcome echoes of Rear Window throughout the story and its propulsive narrative make The Girl on the Train an absorbing read." (The Boston Globe)

Easy and catchy story
Super easy read, fun to listen to. Story grew with each chapter, and the ability to sympathize with the protagonist even though she was rather unstable was a mark of how clever the writing was.

Good build up, decent pay off, ending could have been condensed
Overall I thought the plot was interesting, the writing felt very natural and personable, and the voice acting was very good (however one of the voices I wasn’t too keen on but that can’t be helped).
I thought the build up of the plot was good and that it was detonated between the three characters very well. Only issue was once you figured the mystery out in your own head it felt like it took forever to get to a point where the actual characters figured it out in their own heads.

Terrible recording
I read the book which was great. I went on a road trip with my friend and downloaded the audio version. The beginning of each Chapter was cut off which made it really confusing to determine which character was being represented... very important to know. The only reason we could follow what was happening was because I could pause it and explain it to my friend. It was difficult even for me to follow. Anyway, the audio version was disappointing but it was a really exciting book.

Great Perfromance of an enthralling mystery.
Guided by an unreliable narrator, the story is full of twists and turns and keeps you guessing. The main character is infuriating at times but her realistic experience of alchoal addiction and ptsd makes her feel real. The book can be summed up as "the things men put us through" and I'd definitely recommend it.

This was not what I was expecting.
I had heard great things about The Girl On The Train, but was extremely disappointed. I was quite excited to start this book, for I had heard other people enjoyed it, and I was hostly trying to like it; however the story seemed to really drag. I never really got close enough to the characters to care for them because none of them seemed very likeable. I understand characters having flaws, and I understand that it builds character to have small or large issues that create conflict in the story, but I just can’t connect to the character for the life of me!
I’m sure that it’s a very well written book, and it may just be me, but I can’t figure out why this book got so famous. To be fare, I did listen to this book over a longer period of time, but I don’t think that will make a world of a difference.
The narration was another thing that bugged me. Each narrator was just fine on there own; but having them all narrate the book altogether at different times did not work for me. The quality of the audio was very good, so that’s on good thing about the book.
I think the book would have been better if the Rachel didn’t always find everything so hard to do. I understand that she has drinking issues, but all of her emotions seem a bit much for this book at times. She just seems a little bit whiny to me.
Although this was not the most completely review, I still respect the author and the writing. It takes a lot of work to write a book. Since this book is so well known I must have some weird option, but that’s my opinion anyway.

An Okay Way to Spend Eleven Hours
Pay close attention to the opening chapters. If your attention wanders the least little bit, you will become hopelessly lost.
The story is somewhat longer than it needs to be, but does achieve a reasonable degree of tension and mild suspense.
The identity of the perp is a surprise, but the conclusion is rather clumsily executed.

Started slow then kept getting better
I did not like most of the people in this book but I did like Rachel. This was quite far fetched but I enjoyed it more and more. It is worth the credit. The tension builds to a good conclusion.
