瑞秋每天早上都坐同一趟通勤火車。每天，她沿着軌道飛馳，閃過一大片舒适的郊區住宅，停在一個信号前，讓她每天都能看到同一對夫婦在甲闆上吃早餐。她甚至覺得自己認識他們。“傑西和傑森，”她這樣稱呼他們。在她看來，他們的生活是完美的。就像她最近失去的生命。
然後她看到了令人震驚的事情。離火車開動隻有一分鐘，但已經足夠了。現在一切都改變了。由于無法保守秘密，瑞秋向警方提供了她所知道的一切，并不可避免地卷入了接下來發生的事情，以及參與其中的每個人的生活。她做的弊大于利嗎?
《火車上的女孩》可讀性強，是一部情感沉浸式的希區柯克式驚悚小說，也是一部激動人心的處女作。
The number one New York Times best seller, USA Today Book of the Year, now a major motion picture.
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?
