Everyone has a secret. Who would you trust with yours?
On Selena Murphy’s train home from work, a mysterious woman named Martha strikes up a conversation and shares a confession: she’s having an affair with her boss. In turn, Selena shares her own secret: she suspects her husband is sleeping with the nanny.
At Selena’s station the two women part, and Selena never expects to see her again. Until she receives a message. I’d love to continue our conversation. Can we get together? It’s Martha, by the way. From the train.
But Selena never gave Martha her number. She brushes the message off – until days later her nanny goes missing, and Selena begins to wonder if it’s all connected. Who is Martha, really? And what does she want with Selena?
Confessions on the 7:45 will have you gripped from the first page until the last. Perfect for fans of Harriet Tyce’s Blood Orange and A.J. Finn’s The Woman in the Window.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this exquisitely crafted psychological thriller from Edgar finalist Unger (The Stranger Inside), Selena Murphy trades confessions with a stranger named Martha while the two are trapped in a stalled New York City commuter train. Martha admits that she's having an affair with her boss, and Selena tells Martha that she suspects her husband, Graham, is sleeping with their nanny, Geneva. In truth, Selena knows Graham and Geneva are having sex thanks to a surveillance camera she placed in the playroom, and sends Graham packing when she arrives home. Selena resolves to fire Geneva, but then Geneva's sister reports her missing, forcing Selena to question just what her husband is capable of. Compounding her anxiety are texts from Martha, to whom Selena never divulged a last name or phone number. Unger explores the complexities of marriage and the devastation wrought by infidelity using keenly rendered characters and a prismatic narrative. Though Geneva's disappearance drives the plot, smaller puzzles abound, heightening suspense and connecting seemingly disparate story lines in diabolically clever ways. Unger just keeps getting better.
