Confessions on the 7

I am a huge fan of Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train, and this book is an homage to that film—but in the form of a domestic thriller.

A mysterious stranger on the train, a wife troubled by her husband’s infidelity, a missing nanny: each has her own story to tell that eventually intersects with the others and kept me guessing until the end.

Without giving too much away, I enjoyed the multiple points of view and multiple personalities.

A reader needs to be paying attention in order to pick up the red herrings along the way. Otherwise, like me, you’ll be asking yourself what the heck just happened. Which makes a great thriller!

Although attention to the characters is needed at the start, it is a quick read that left me guessing until the last page.

Forget tackling the mountain of dishes. Tackle this gripping thriller instead!

Lisa Unger is an auto-buy author for me, but Confessions on the 7:45 might just be my favorite of her books. Selena strikes up a conversation with a stranger on the train during her commute home. The woman confesses she’s stuck in an affair with her boss, prompting Selena to confess her husband is sleeping with the nanny. A chance meeting…or is it? The women part ways, presumably never to meet again, and then the nanny disappears and strange messages begin appearing on Selena’s phone. Strangers on a Train, anyone? This is a top-notch thriller and a masterclass in… show more.
