THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN
Paula Hawkins
"The surprise-packed narratives hurtle toward a stunning climax, horrifying as a
train wreck and just as riveting." — starred, Publishers Weekly
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Each day it rattles down the
track and stops at the signal that allows her to watch the same couple breakfasting
on their deck. Their life seems is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost. And
then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's
enough. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police. Has
she done more harm than good?

If you enjoy historical fiction hinged on literary greats then The Lodger is your best bet. Similar to The Paris Wife by
Paula McLain, you will recognize a familiar love triangle: writer husband, doting wife and wife's beautiful, passionate
friend. This time, the story is told from the perspective of the mistress. In 1906 London, Dorothy Richardson lives in a
seedy boarding house, works as a dental assistant, and longs for a life free of poverty. When she visits a school friend
in the countryside and falls in love with her friend's husband, H. G. Wells, Dorothy's life is thrown into disarray. The
elegant prose explores Dorothy's most intimate thoughts as she rebels against stringent societal norms and explores
unconventional desires. Dorothy searches for her place in the world, and eventually becomes an author and journalist in
her own right. — Kristi Haman
This psychological thriller starts off simply enough: Rachel, a middle-aged woman, spends her morning commute on a
train, staring out the window and musing about the lives of the people who flash by. Rachel takes a particular interest
in a married couple that appears to have the perfect life she desperately yearns for. However, this literary ride quickly
screeches to a halt and takes a detour into the twisted subconscious of an alcoholic. In true Hitchcock-inspired style, a
murder investigation slowly reveals the secrets of several deeply flawed characters. Filled with mounting suspense, this
tale is a compulsive read. Look for The Girl on the Train at the theater in the near future; the novel was recently acquired
by DreamWorks. — Kristi Haman
THE LODGER
Louisa Treger
"Treger's debut novel explores the socially unacceptable loves of little-read author
Dorothy Richardson in early 20th-century London. . . . Readers familiar with the
period will recognize echoes of Virginia Woolf and Edith Wharton in Dorothy's
views." — Publishers Weekly
Dorothy Richardson is barely above poverty when she's invited for a weekend with a
childhood friend who has recently married a writer on the brink of fame. His name is
H. G. Wells. They call him Bertie. Dorothy notices his grey-blue eyes taking her
in, signaling approval. He tells her he and Jane are free to take lovers, and Dorothy
free-falls into an affair with Bertie. Then a beautiful new boarder arrives at the
house. Amidst the personal dramas, Dorothy finds her voice as a writer.
