“Gone Girl fans will devour this psychological thriller.”—People
EVERY DAY THE SAME
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.
UNTIL TODAY
And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel goes to the police. But is she really as unreliable as they say? Soon she is deeply entangled not only in the investigation but in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Riverhead Books apresentam uma variedade de narrativas que exploram tanto a complexidade das relações humanas quanto reflexões profundas sobre ciência, história e cultura. A experiência de leitura frequentemente envolve personagens em transição — seja na passagem da juventude para a vida adulta, em crises pessoais ou em contextos históricos marcantes —, com um tom que varia do introspectivo ao envolvente. O catálogo sugere obras que combinam histórias densas e multifacetadas, ora com ritmo mais narrativo e emocional, ora com abordagens mais informativas e analíticas, como em relatos científicos ou biográficos.
