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.

Rachel prend le train deux fois par jour pour aller à Londres. Chaque jour, elle observe, lors d'un arrêt, une jolie maison en contrebas de la voie ferrée. 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, autora de La chica del tren, un fenómeno mundial con más de 27 millones de lectores en 50 países. Desde que son niños Edie, Jake y Ryan han sido inseparables. Ellos tres contra el mundo. Edie pensaba que su amistad podría con todo, así que cuando su marido Jake es brutalmente asesinado y su mejor amigo, Ryan, acusado del crimen, su mundo se desmorona.

Come ho potuto essere così cieca? Dalla casa sulla scogliera dove Edie e Jake si sono trasferiti, si vede solo una cosa: il mare. Mare grigio che si fonde col cielo, con onde altissime che s'infrangono sulla roccia. Per Edie, la differenza con Londra è schiacciante: tanto più che non può usare l'auto per via di un disturbo agli occhi che le provoca momenti di blackout visivo. Se non altro, però, lungo quel tratto selvaggio di costa vive anche Ryan. Il terzo componente di un trio indivisibile: amici fin dal liceo, Edie, Jake e Ryan erano il terzetto più enigmatico della scuola.

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?
