I have to admit, this was pretty subpar compared to other things I've read lately. The plot moved slowly, the character development left much to be desired, and by the end I really didn't care who did it or why. I was a little disappointed after all of the rave reviews. This may be one of the rare instances where the movie will probably be better than the book. I see what the author was trying to do, but it just wasn't effective for me as a reader. *Shrug*

Written from the points a view of different female characters. It all ties together as the story progresses. The hardest part for me when reading the book is that I disliked the women-selfish, vain, needy.
no one was reliable and i doubted absolutely everyone.
Good thriller. I have to admit, I didn't see the end coming at all. Great unreliable narrators but reliable at the same time.
This is the worst book about the most hateful depressing ANNOYING characters I've ever read. I've never hated myself so much for reading a book. Just plain awful.
wasn't very well written, and all the women appeared to be defined by the men in their lives. two stars because I felt I had to find it what the hell happened, so did get quite stuck in.
The story goes back and forth between three women.
Rachel takes the same train into town every weekday. The train stops at the same signal allowing Rachel to look out at the couple who are usually on their deck. She has named them and she knows everything about them. Their lives are perfect. But one day she sees something and what she has imagined for this couple is shattered. Wanting to help, she tells the police what she saw, but being a drunk no one really takes her seriously.
A definite suspenseful page-turner. There was one part towards the end where I didn't like the book after that, otherwise, obviously, it would have been a five star book.
