Related: About this forumVelshi Banned Book Club: 'The Girl on the Train' by Paula Hawkins - Velshi - MSNBC
Every day, Rachel (The Girl on the Train) passes a row of cozy suburban homes on her ride in and out of London. She catches glimpses of her ex-husband and his new wife and another couple, just a few doors down, in house number 15. When the seemingly perfect woman in number 15 disappears, Rachel feels obligated to go to the police. She saw something from the train window that could lead to the woman's discovery. Soon, Rachel is entangled in a web of deceit, murder, and unlikely sisterhood that forces her to reckon with her own reality and rediscover her own strength.
With over 23 million copies sold, The Girl on the Train is central to the new canon of women-centric thrillers. - Aired on 12/21/2024.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'd never read it, but Ali Velshi sold me on it in his description today.
