The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins review – a skilful memory-loss

thriller
THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN is a dark, haunting and depressing psychological

thriller, but it is incredibly effective thanks to the writing skills of author
Paula Hawkins. Rachel is a divorced woman who would do anything for a

this novel, including the men, lack veracity, and are a self-serving and
