The Man on the Train

By: Debbie Babitt

Narrated by: Linda Jones

Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Linda Haley is awakened early one morning by two police officers at the door. She has no idea that her husband has been living a secret life during his daily commute from Scarsdale into the city. Now Guy is the prime suspect in a brutal murder that could derail Linda's high-powered career and may be connected to a cold case.

And Guy has disappeared.

With a warrant out for her husband's arrest, Linda sets out to prove his innocence accompanied by an ex-cop who harbors a secret affection for her. Together, they travel to the scene of a forty-year-old unsolved murder and a night of violence that shattered the serenity of a small fishing hamlet just past the Hamptons.

But as the manhunt intensifies and she begins to uncover the shocking truth, Linda must decide if the stranger she married is innocent or guilty. And if he truly deserves to be saved.

Featuring tense, atmospheric suspense that moves at breakneck speed, this Hitchcockian thriller careens from a bedroom community just north of New York City to the picturesque beaches of eastern Long Island to a suburban train station, where a killer hiding in plain sight waits to exact a final revenge.

Interesting connections and story

I really loved how the author highlighted some aspects of this tragedy. I feel as though it lacked compassion when discussing rape and especially by multiple perpetrators. Overall the story was interesting how the present day murders connected back to the past of Dorothy and I didn’t guess who had done it!

Nothing

So bad I couldn’t even finish it. I listened to this on a recent trip to East Hampton and was completely bored.
