The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them.

But when a shocking discovery is made in an art gallery far away in London, a visitor comes calling. And the secrets of Eris threaten to emerge....

Temiendo la posible devaluación de la obra de la artista, Sebastian Lennox, director de la Fundación Fairburn, envía al conservador James Becker a la remota isla escocesa de Eris, en la que Vanessa vivía.

Elle a même donné un nom à ses occupants, qu'elle voit derrière la vitre : Jason et Jess. Un couple qu'elle imagine parfait, heureux, comme Rachel a pu l'être par le passé avec son mari, avant qu'il ne la trompe et la quitte. Jusqu'à ce matin où Rachel voit un autre homme que Jason à la fenêtre. Jess tromperait-elle son mari ? Quelques jours plus tard, elle découvre la photo de Jess dans les journaux : de son vrai nom Megan Hipwell, la jeune femme a mystérieusement disparu.

Paula Hawkins, nos ofrece un brillante thriller sobre las heridas que provocan los secretos que ocultamos. El descubrimiento del cuerpo de un joven asesinado brutalmente en una casa flotante de Londres desencadena sospechas sobre tres mujeres. Laura es la chica conflictiva que quedó con la víctima la noche en que murió; Carla, aún de luto por la muerte de un familiar, es la tía del joven; y Miriam es la indiscreta vecina que oculta información sobre el caso a la policía.

Laura has spent most of her life being judged. She's seen as hot-tempered, troubled, a loner. Some even call her dangerous. Miriam knows that just because Laura is witnessed leaving the scene of a horrific murder with blood on her clothes, that doesn't mean she's a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. She trusts no one: good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far will she go to find peace?

Ein Leben, wie Rachel es sich wünscht. Eines Tages beobachtet sie etwas Schockierendes. Kurz darauf liest sie in der Zeitung vom Verschwinden einer Frau - daneben ein Foto von "Jess".

As his beloved homeland goes Brexit bananas, best-selling humourist Paul Hawkins takes on Britishness - how it looks from the outside, how to be British abroad and what you only learn about home once you leave it. In this self-deprecating audiobook, he reveals the awkward secrets, cultural blind-spots and private oddness of the people with whom he once shared an island.

La vita di Rachel non è di quelle che vorresti spiare. Vive sola, non ha amici, e ogni mattina prende lo stesso treno, che la porta dalla periferia di Londra al suo grigio lavoro in città. Quel viaggio sempre uguale è il momento preferito della sua giornata. Seduta accanto al finestrino, può osservare, non vista, le case e le strade che scorrono fuori e, quando il treno si ferma puntualmente a uno stop, può spiare una coppia, un uomo e una donna senza nome che ogni mattina fanno colazione in veranda. Un appuntamento cui Rachel, nella sua solitudine, si è affezionata.
