A várost átszelő folyóból holtan húznak ki egy fiatal nőt. Néhány hónappal korábban egy sérülékeny tinédzser lány végezte ugyanott, ugyanígy. Előttük évszázadokon át asszonyok és lányok hosszú sora lelte halálát a sötét vízben, így a két friss tragédia régen eltemetett titkokat bolygat meg - és hoz felszínre. Az utolsó áldozat árván maradt, tizenöt éves lányának szembe kell néznie azzal, hogy félelmetes nagynénje lett a gondviselője, aki most kényszeredetten tér vissza oda, ahonnan annak idején elmenekült, és ahová szíve szerint soha nem tette volna be újra a lábát. A folyóparti ház eresztékei éjjelente hangosabban nyikorognak, a fal tövében susogó víz kísérteties neszekkel tölti meg az egyébként zavartalan csendet. A lány a vonaton című regényhez hasonlóan PAULA HAWKINS újabb története is megállíthatatlanul sodorja az olvasót a végkifejlet felé, bizonyítva, hogy az írónő nagy ismerője a női léleknek és az emberi ösztönöknek. A lány a vonaton az elmúlt évek legnagyobb sikere volt a magyar és a nemzetközi könyvpiacon. A szerző második thrillerére két évet kellett várni. De - ahogy az első olvasók egybehangzóan állítják - megérte.

Um thriller psicológico que vai mudar para sempre a maneira como você observa a vida das pessoas ao seu redor . Todas as manhãs Rachel pega o trem das 8h04 de Ashbury para Londres. O arrastar trepidante pelos trilhos faz parte de sua rotina. O percurso, que ela conhece de cor, é um hipnotizante passeio entre galpões, caixas d''água, pontes e aconchegantes casas. Em determinado trecho, o trem para no sinal vermelho. E é de lá que Rachel observa diariamente a casa de número 15. Obcecada por seus belos habitantes – a quem chama de Jess e Jason –, Rachel é capaz de descrever o que imagina ser a vida perfeita do jovem casal. Até testemunhar uma cena chocante, segundos antes de o trem seguir viagem. Poucos dias depois, ela descobre que Jess – na verdade Megan – está desaparecida. Sem conseguir se manter alheia à situação, ela vai à polícia e conta o que viu. E acaba não só participando diretamente do desenrolar dos acontecimentos, mas também da vida de todos os envolvidos. Uma narrativa extremamente inteligente e repleta de reviravoltas, A garota no trem é um thriller digno de Hitchcock a ser compulsivamente devorado.
