The Girl on the Train

What could have been.

When I heard about this book it was from a co-worker who was clamoring amongst the crowd to get us all to read this book. That but of hype may have built my expectations to a point that would be hard to meet. There was only one character fleshed out enough for me to care about. Everyone else was just white noise and I'm this book the author needed you to care about the others as well. I hate to say that it felt like the story changed direction multiple times and left loose ends all over the place that did little to create suspicion as to who committed the murder. Instead it felt like the author was going down one path and a sudden flash caused the story to go somewhere else without cleaning up after itself. Don't get me wrong, it's worth a read, just in the same way that some made for tv movies are worth a watch.
