she burried beneathe a silver birch tree, down towards the old train tracks, her grave marked with a cairn. Not more than a little pile of stones, really. I didnot want to draw attention to her resting place, but I could not leave her without remembrance. She'll sleep peacefully there, no one to disturb her, no sounds but birdsong and the rumble of passing trains.

This book was given to me by a good friend.

I am in the middle of reading this book, will offer as a bookray when I m through. It is full of suspense, with who did it.....

Finally finished reading this suspenseful book, hope you will have fun reading......

Starting my bookray, mailing to the first reader perryfan......

Received in the mail today. Thanks...looking forward to reading this but I have a couple of other books I need to finish first. I will contact next in line and get this to them as soon as I finish.

Pretty good thriller told from the perspective of the three female protagonists in the book. The first, Rachel, is the girl on the train who is also an alcoholic who has lost her job and pretends to go to work each day by taking the same train she was taking to work. The train goes by a house with an ideal couple she fantasizes about and who she names Jess and Jason. This couple turns out to live a few houses down from where Rachel used to live with her ex-husband, Tom. Tom is now married to Anna, the second narrator in the story. And Megan, the third narrator is actually Jess from Rachel's fantasy. And then one day, Megan disappears and turns up murdered. But why did this happen and who is the murderer...that is the crux of this mystery that is full of twists and turns and false leads. Rachel happened to be on the street where Megan disappeared on the night it happened but she was drunk and blacked out and could not remember what had happened. Was she somehow involved? Lots of unanswered questions eventually leading to an unexpected conclusion. Overall, I would recommend this taut thriller. Now I want to see the movie version that came out last year!

Sending this on to dvg...next in line for this bookray. Enjoy!

Arrived safely in NJ today. Thank you for sharing this book with me, I am so excited to read it! I am a fast reader and will have this moving along by the end of the week. PMing the next in line, Ollie1976, for addy now.

Story starts with a woman on a train staring at a couple on their porch, everyday the train goes by and she watches the house. We learn quickly that she used to live in that house with her husband. The story continues from her perspective as well as two other women and the story eventually combines and keeps you wanting to turn the page. I wanted to know what happened to each character. I won't give away any plot points but I did enjoy it, liked the ending and I hope to read more by this author soon! Just saw the movie too!

As a side note, some have compared this book to Alfred Hitchcock, I don't see it. Some compared it to the work of Gillian Flynn and while I can understand that comparison, but Gillian Flynn is better. But this is absolutely an author to watch...um...read. Happy Reading and Happy BookCrossing!

received as part of bookray

saw the movie first and was impressed by how closely it followed the book. Great read. Will be sending it to glade1 today

sending to next participant of bookray

Received in yesterday's mail. It's behind another ring and a Wish List Tag but I'll read it and pass it along ASAP. I'm looking forward to this one!

Read this one very quickly - found it hard to put down. I love the premise and the way the author builds the story. When I finished it, I thought, "What a great book!" Then, as I thought more about it, I started to think of gaps in the story or unresolved questions and now I think it's a good book but not great.

Hard to express my concerns without spoilers, but questions included who was it that leaked certain information to the press, how the guilty party got cleaned up (and dry) so that no one noticed anything, and why, why, why do the women go traipsing off into the situations they do?

This was an enjoyable read but not perfect. Glad I at least know what all the fuss is about now. I have PMed MrsTuccci for an address and hope to send this out soon. Thanks for including me in the ray!

I've been unable to locate MrsTucci, despite two PMs and an ISO on the book site. Her site appears to have gone silent... So I will probably just release this into the wild here unless I hear something else soon...
