The Girl on The Train is a one-way ticket to success for Paula Hawkins

FOR an author whose book is top of the bestseller lists, London-based Paula Hawkins is unfrazzled. There is no egocentricity, no hubris, and not a hint of someone who would rather do anything else than to have to talk about a book they have been talking about for months.

That book, The Girl On The Train, is a thriller about perception, unreliability, wish-fulfilment, domestic violence, alcohol abuse, the slow disintegration of potential, and how circumstances can change a person’s life from good to bad to survival. Written from the viewpoints of three different women, the book weaves a head-scratching storyline into a satisfying resolution.
