ReviewsReally great suspense novel. Kept me up most of the night. The alcoholic narrator is dead perfect. * STEPHEN KING * My vote for unreliable narrator of the year * The Times * The thriller scene will have to up its game if it's to match Hawkins this year * Observer * Hawkins's taut story roars along at the pace of, well, a high-speed train . . . a smart, searing thriller' * Good Housekeeping (US) * The Girl On The Train was so thrilling and tense and wildly unpredictable, it sucked up my entire afternoon. I simply could not put it down. Not to be missed! * Tess Gerritsen *
