Quick, engaging psychological thriller. I couldn't put it down!
A little dark for me, but well written, and perhaps I've read another one of her books.
DNF'd. Ugh just not for me, and I didn't like a couple statements that were made about "Me too"

Just when you think you have everything figured out, Lisa Unger surprises you over and over again. This novel is a con game with a mix of Strangers on the Train thrown in.
Selena is in love with her husband, Graham, and is happy with her nanny, Geneva, for her two sons. But, when she catches them together, and when a stranger on the 7:45 train (Martha) tells her a big secret, Selena shares her secret to Martha.
When Geneva disappears, Selena wonders what her husband is capable of doing.
Anna is having an affair with her married boss, but his wife gives Anna an ultimatum.
This novel has many women wronged by men, women conning men to get revenge, and the timelines don't have dates, so there is some confusion and intentional misdirection by the author. I finally had an aha moment about 45% through the novel, and things started to make sense. But, there were still some surprises to come.

This book is okay. It is the best book I have read? No. Did I predict almost all the plot twist? Yes. Did I want to know the ending? Yes. Would I recommend it? I don't know. I was glad I listened to the audit book and it would probably have been a DNF for me.

I love a good phycological thriller and this one does not disappoint. Selena had a perfect life - a job, a husband, two boys, an amazing nanny. But then things start to get weird after she meets a woman on the 7:45 train. The nanny goes missing. Her husband is a suspect. And she receives a text message from the woman on the train.
