#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER FOR MYSTERY/THRILLER
******An addictive novel of psychological suspense from the author of
#1 New York Times bestseller and global phenomenon The Girl on the
Train and A Slow Fire Burning.
"Hawkins is at the forefront of a group of female authors . . who have
reinvigorated the literary suspense novel by tapping a rich vein of
psychological menace and social unease... there's a certain solace to a
dark escape, in the promise of submerged truths coming to light."

A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs
through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the
same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but
their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long
submerged.
Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl. Parentless and
friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a
fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately
ran from--a place to which she vowed she'd never return.
With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human
instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her
explosive debut thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins
delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying read that hinges on the
deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as the devastating ways
that the past can reach a long arm into the present.
Beware a calm surface--you never know what lies beneath.
