From the Back: 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.
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?
Personal Thoughts: Suspense stories like these are probably one of my favorite genres. While it got off to a slow start, it didn't take too long for me to get invested in the character stories - which turned out there were three, not just one! It was a fun book that only took me a few days to read. A good start to my reading challenge of 2025!
