The Girl on the Train

The thriller scene will have to up its game if it's to match Hawkins this year

Observer

Really great suspense novel. Kept me up most of the night. The alcoholic narrator is dead perfect.

STEPHEN KING

achieves a sinister poetry . . . Hawkins keeps the nastiest twist for last

Financial Times

Hawkins' masterful deployment of unwittingly unreliable narration to evoke the aftershocks of abuse and trauma is a powerful way of exploring women's marginalization

Huffington Post

A complex and increasingly chilling tale courtesy of a number of first-person narratives that will wrong-foot even the most experienced of crime fiction readers

Irish Times

The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl

The Good Book Guide

The Girl on the Train is one of those delicious thrillers that can be devoured in four sittings, that's two return journeys on a typical train trip! There's a whiff of Agatha Christie and a dollop of Gone Girl with plenty of blind alleys that we happily wander up and get lost in. Pick it up, solve the crime and pass it on . . .
