The Girl on the train – paula hawkins
The Girl On The Train, by Paula Hawkins, brings mystery to the life of Rachel Watson, who could very well be any one of us. While murder may not resonate with most people’s daily lives, the underlying problems of the characters are those that can be well understood. Hawkins not only brings these characters to life, but presents those in a way that makes the reader find a way to sympathize with each one of them at some point during the story.
