About the Story : The psychological thriller novel is a first-person narrative told from the point of view of three women: Rachel, Anna, and Megan. Rachel a 32 year old woman catches the same commuter train every morning. Rachel is prone to alcohol, blackouts & irrationality from the end of her marriage to Tom, who left her for another woman, Anna Watson. The train stopped at the same signal each day overlooking a row of houses and back gardens. As days pass by she starts to feel like she knows the people in one of the houses. She names them Jason and Jess and wished that her life was as perfect as their's. Until one day she sees something in their garden that startles her. It's only a minute when the train moves on. She reads in the paper that “Jess” – who is really called Megan – has vanished. Everything has changed and Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she has only watched from the train window. Considerable suspense combined with empathy keeps building up & She is much more than the Girl on the Train.
