"The Commuter" is your ticket to an engaging, pacey, twisty, and compelling read.

A female car accident victim wakes up from an induced coma and confesses to her physician that she killed her husband.

Was this true?

Did the man the wife conversed with on the commuter train have anything to do with her husband's death?

Unfolding from the two POVs of the murdered husband's second wife and his daughter, this intricately plotted thriller is replete with red herrings and unreliable narrators.

WHY NOT 5 STARS?
1) The book's multiple timelines/POVs were sometimes difficult to follow.

2) The end-of-the-book plot twists lacked the authenticity and believability I was seeking.

I listened to the audiobook read by Emma Powell.

Although Emma Powell did a superb job with the narration, the book would have benefited from two narrators.

This is my fourth Emma Curtis book and I am a fan!

Julie Great review, Jayne! I only found this available as paperback, no kindle edition? Perhaps it's on its way. This looks intriguing for sure!!

JanB Multiple narrators are a must with this kind of timeline and POV. Glad you enjoyed it, and great review as always!
