And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed.

Media Reviews
Really great suspense novel. Kept me up most of the night. The alcoholic narrator is dead perfect. STEPHEN KING The thriller scene will have to up its game if it's to match Hawkins this year Observer A complex and increasingly chilling tale courtesy of a number of first-person narratives that will wrong-foot even the most experienced of crime fiction readers Irish Times achieves a sinister poetry ... Hawkins keeps the nastiest twist for last Financial Times Hawkins' masterful deployment of unwittingly unreliable narration to evoke the aftershocks of abuse and trauma is a powerful way of exploring women's marginalization Huffington Post
