Helpful Score: 2

I was very underwhelmed by this book; I was sucked in by the hype over it being praised as the "next 'Gone Girl.'" Obviously it wasn't, but it wasn't even close to the brilliant writing of Gillian Flynn (and I thought 'Gone Girl' was the worst of her three books) - it was at times boring, and I had zero investment in any of the characters (I don't even remember their names anymore!). If you're looking for a good suspense/mystery, or the "next 'Gone Girl,'" try one of Flynn's other two books, or try 'The Surgeon' or its sequel, 'The Apprentice,' by the reviewer on the cover of 'The Girl on the Train' - Tess Gerritsen.
