The Girl on the Train

I quite enjoyed reading The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins which is set in England.  A young woman named Rachel catches the train every day and knows it stops in the same place.  Rachel then observes out of the train window what she imagines is a "perfect" married life.  She has given them names.  However, one day there is an incident which shocks her so Rachel inveigles herself in to the life of  the "perfect" couple.  Each chapter is narrated by the women - Rachel, Anna and Megan.  So the reader is given their perspective of the situation and the reader must be aware of the timeline for each character. 4/5
