The Girl on the Train

Summary
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins is a “psychological thriller” that keeps the reader on the edge of his or her seat throughout the entire book. Hence, it is a page turner. The main plot of the book is about how the main character, Rachel Watson, rides the train pointlessly every morning and evening and is an alcoholic. She examines one couple every time she goes by the couples’ house on the train, their names are Scott and Megan until one day Megan is announced missing and possibly dead as well. Rachel goes to Scott’s house pretending to be Megan’s friend and tells Scott about the affair. Tom Watson, the past husband of Rachel and new husband of Anna Watson is the one to be skeptical about. Megan was seeing Tom while he was in a marriage and family with Anna. Tom didn’t want anyone to find out about the affair, and therefore, Tom murdered Megan. Anna had found out that Tom and Megan were calling each other, and Anna had found Megan’s phone in Tom’s gym bag. Tom had admitted to being Megan’s killer, and Rachel and Anna both separately confess to the police that Rachel killed Tom using self defense.
