Book review: Confessions on 7:45 - Lisa Unger

 

Title: Confessions on 7:45

Author: Lisa Unger

My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Description:

Be careful to whom you tell your darkest secrets…

Selena Murphy is commuting home from her job in the city when the train stalls out on the tracks. She strikes up a conversation with a beautiful stranger in the next seat, and their connection is fast and easy. The woman introduces herself as Martha and confesses that she’s been stuck in an affair with her boss. Selena, in turn, confesses that she suspects her husband is sleeping with the nanny. When the train arrives at Selena’s station, the two women part ways, presumably never to meet again.
But days later, Selena’s nanny disappears.

My opinion:

Would you tell the person you just met on the train your darkest secrets? Selena did. She confessed to the stranger that she suspects her husband sleeping with a nanny. Then the nanny goes missing. This is just the beginning of the twisted story. The spiral of secrets have started.

Wow! What a book. Lie after lie, secret after secret. The story is told from 3 points of view. There is infidelity, flawed family relations and few very professional con artists, who take their job really seriously.

Once I started reading I was unable to put it down until all the secrets unravel. There is so many mysterious characters it makes your head spin. Emotional roller coaster. You don't know who to trust.

I would recommend “Confessions on 7:45” to all the mystery and suspense lovers. It has all it takes to make an excellent psychological thriller.
