PLOT:
From master of suspense Lisa Unger comes a riveting thriller about a chance encounter that unravels a stunning web of lies and deceit.Everyone has a secret… Now she knows yours.
Selena Murphy is commuting home from her job in the city when the train stalls out on the tracks. She strikes up a conversation with a beautiful stranger in the next seat, and their connection is fast and easy. The woman introduces herself as Martha and confesses that she’s been stuck in an affair with her boss. Selena, in turn, confesses that she suspects her husband is sleeping with the nanny. When the train arrives at Selena’s station, the two women part ways, presumably never to meet again.
But days later, Selena’s nanny disappears.
Soon Selena finds her once-perfect life upended. As she is pulled into the mystery of the missing nanny, and as the fractures in her marriage grow deeper, Selena begins to wonder, who was Martha really? But she is hardly prepared for what she’ll discover.
Expertly plotted and reminiscent of the timeless classic Strangers on a Train, Confessions on the 7:45 is a gripping thriller about the delicate facades we create around our lives
REVIEW:
Disclaimer: I received an eARC of the book in exchange for an HONEST review.
I definitely did not have any trouble getting hooked on the story. The perspective of the characters are intriguing and confusing but in a good way. It is also filled with twists and unpredictability that I could not put the book down because I was that invested. There are also clues that point out to the mystery, which makes the reveal not far fetched. I also like that it deals with problems such as marriage, fidelity, greed, and morality. It is also a tale of revenge and tackles the question of whether an action is good or evil. The plot is written and paced very well.
Overall, great story and characters. If you enjoyed Gone Girl or Big Little Liars, I definitely recommend this.
