APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This frantic mystery puts a whole new spin on the age-old warning “don’t talk to strangers.” Selena Murphy is seething with anger when she gets on the late train home and sits down next to a charming woman named Martha. Selena shares with the sympathetic stranger that her husband is having an affair with the nanny, prompting Martha to make an offhand comment that, disturbingly, comes true. As Selena gets drawn into a shocking plot involving her husband, her family, and a series of past deceits, thriller veteran Lisa Unger expertly uses multiple points of view to reveal one twisted secret after another. Unger ratchets up the pressure and we really empathize with Selena—she feels so multidimensional and real. Narrator Vivienne Leheny’s sultry delivery underpins the slowly escalating tension. We couldn’t wait to hear what happened next—even when we were terrified to learn the truth.
Customer Reviews
Extremely long
Great story line but felt like it could have been cut down some.
It was ok
Lots of twists and turns which kept me intrigued but also made it hard to follow. The different character stories seemed rushed at times so I felt like I couldn’t keep up or had to replay to hear it again and process what was going on. I would say 3.5 rating.
Couldn’t stop reading
I loved it. Thank you. I loved the small reference to Nirvana at the end. I loved the last line. Worth the entire read to get that last line.
