Confessions on the 7:45: A Novel

If every thriller I picked up for the rest of my life was as eye-popping and indulgent as this one, I would be one happy camper. Lisa Unger does it again in Confessions on the 7:45.

Married to husband Graham and with two little boys, Oliver and Stephen, Selena thinks her life is going pretty well. Of course, she is the (temporary) main breadwinner right now as Graham is between jobs. But she is just happy enough. Until, that is, she starts suspecting Graham of cheating on her with the nanny. Selena meets a stranger named Martha on the train one day, and in a few short minutes, the ladies have traded secrets. What Selena doesn’t know, though, is who Martha really is.

Confessions on the 7:45 has characters that are so smart, so imperfect, yet so delicious to spy upon that you too will feel like a voyeur feeding into this story about manipulation, fraud, extortion, and blackmail. Exciting, fast-paced, and toe-curling, this book will have you reading it into the wee hours of the night.
