You love unreliable narrators and stories that make you question what actually happened.
You enjoy mysteries that twist repeatedly and keep you guessing about who's lying.
You want a page-turner about obsession and the gap between how life looks from the outside and what's really going on.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer mysteries where the protagonist is competent and trustworthy from the start.
You're looking for a feel-good story or something with a neat, tidy resolution.
You'd rather avoid books centred on alcoholism and its messy consequences.

About this book

Rachel commutes by train every morning and evening, passing the same suburban homes each day. From her seat, she watches a couple eating breakfast on their deck and has come to feel she knows them, calling them Jess and Jason in her mind. She perceives their life as perfect—unlike the life she has recently lost. One day, Rachel witnesses something shocking during her brief moment passing their home. Disturbed by what she saw, she reports it to the police. However, her account is questioned, and she finds herself drawn into the investigation and the lives of those involved. As events unfold, Rachel must confront whether her actions have helped or caused harm.
