Rachel is driving home, dangerously and over the limit to get back to her husband Anthony. We know very little else at the start.

Rachel married Anthony, a much older and hugely wealthy man and has been living a perfectly happy life, I enjoyed the detail here that Rachel works still, I find women retaining their independence always excellent to read and I liked Rachel, though I did find almost all of her decisions awful.

The book is largely hectic, different timelines, perspectives, and there are certainly more characters than some similar novels.

It’s an enjoyable read, slightly too over the top for me, I love twists but every single page turned into a melodrama.

I think this will be a well loved cosy read for those who like strong characterization and a story that doesn’t let up.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review, which this is.

I was on the fence about requesting this book. The cover is awesome, her last book was great, but previous books haven’t been my favorite. It was ok. Long. Lots of characters. And I ended up skimming more of it than anything else. Shocking ending though!

On the whole a decent read, with an interesting who dunnit.
Why, what and how did Anthony land up dead, and to what point was Rachel involved.
For me though, there were too many twists, making if feel a bit over the top.
But not wildly so that you enjoy the madness.
Good read.

Well what can I say Emma Curtis has knocked out another fantastic thriller. I was so excited to read this I had to stay up late to finish it. It had me gripped from the first page until the very last. It was a rollercoaster of a ride with so many twists and turns I could not work out who the culprit was.
This is such a talented author to write such fantastic books which seem to just get better and better.

Rachel is married to Anthony who is older and a very wealthy man. Anthony had a heart attack a few months ago and Rachel feels since then he has changed she isn’t getting on with her stepdaughter the atmosphere in the house isn’t very good. So when she catches the eye of a fellow commuter Rachel’s life takes a drastic turn.

I loved the writing style of the story it just flowed throughout. I thought the characters were so well developed that it felt so real. Overall I absolutely loved this book my favourite read this year. I can’t wait to recommend this fantastic thriller to everyone.

'The Commuter' jumped straight to the top of my TBR and I am very glad it did. Its absolutely packed full of twists and turns, no-one is who they seem at first or even second glance.

Rachel is married to a much older and very wealthy man Anthony; she loves him deeply but Caroline his adult daughter has never been a fan of Rachel's and even after 12 years of marriage is trying to separate Rachel and Anthony in any way she can. Rachel finally flips, telling Anthony a few home truths about his precious daughter - Anthony retaliates, hitting Rachel across the face. He's clearly crossed a line in their relationship and its up to Rachel how their marriage continues from here.

One day on a packed broken down tube, Rachel catches the eye of handsome stranger Sean. There's an immediate spark between them, and they find themselves meeting on the same train line again and again. Is this the man that Rachel has been waiting for? Or is the attraction between them more of a clue to the sorry state of her marriage?

The book zips forward and back in time, opening up with Rachel racing home from a party, trying to stop something from happening before its too late. Then we find out what might have led up to her decision, ping ponging back and forth in the story timeline.

The pace is fast and furious from start to finish - excellently entertaining and would make a wonderful netflix series.
