Nun das Buch hat mir von Lisa Unger wieder gefallen, die Atmosphäre war düster und trübsinnig, das Buch hielt bis zum Ende seine Sente.)
Das Buch enthielt viele Wendungen und Geheimnisse.
Da es in dem Buch viele Charaktere gibt, kann man am Anfang leicht verwirrt werden, aber mit der Zeit fängt man an, das ganze „Familienchaos“ zu verstehen.
Dieses kleines Minus Punkt, gebe ich weil für mich war schon ungefähr seit 3/4 des Buches klar wer der Hauptmörder sei... Es hat sich paar mal wiederholt... hmm... okay... . Ich mag das Buch trotzdem!

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Selena Murphy had the perfect marriage and a wonderful life, or so it may seem to her followers on Instagram. However, her followers didn’t know she suspected her husband had been cheating on her with the nanny. He has a history of cheating, so when she confirmed her suspicions it came as no surprise. Despite the lack of surprise, feelings of hurt and frustration surfaced as she recognised years of therapy had been no help. The frustration and hurt led to sharing her feelings with a stranger, she had a chance encounter with on a train on her way home from work. Besides, she wouldn’t be seeing this woman again, or so she thought. The following day she finds herself caught up in a chain of events, which led to her second guessing her husband and questioning the role of the stranger in all of it.
This story had several POVs, which added to its intrigue. It kept me wondering about the connection between the characters. Then, as the story developed, I had quite a few light bulb moments. While it did not take me long to put the pieces together to get the full picture, there were several surprises along the way.
The characters intrigued me, especially the stranger from the train. She lacked empathy, but I admired her for her intelligence and her mastery of getting others to do what she wanted without them realizing what was happening. Selena lived in denial and hid behind lies in the guise of saving her marriage, which would eventually blow up in her face.
From the moment I started this book, I knew I made the right choice in taking a chance on this author. I was hooked and a hard time putting this book down. Filled with secrets, lies, murder and deceit, Confessions on the 7:45 proved to be a captivating and twisted read and had me flipping the pages, eager to learn how it would all unfold.
Conclusion/Recommendation
I enjoyed Confessions on the 7:45 and would recommend it to readers who enjoy thrillers. I would definitely read more from Lisa Unger.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
