While I found the premise a tad far-fetched, Confessions on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger was an enjoyable suspense.

Enjoyed the writing and the mystery, but found it a little predictable. Looking forward to the next Lisa Unger.

Confessions on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger is a mix between a domestic thriller and mystery. Selena finds evidence of her husband's affair with the nanny. She spills it all to a stranger on the evening commute. Then the nanny disappears.

I thought this book was so slow and not nearly a thriller. There were far too many side characters, POVs, and storylines that didnt seem relevant to the actual plot. The main themes were that all men are horrible with violent tendencies and horrible secrets. Every single character makes dumb choices. There were no real twists and pretty much every detail was explained (sometimes overexplained).

There were many great reviews, though, so you may like this more than I. Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

I haven't enjoyed a thriller this much in quite some time. The author did a great job putting pieces together so there was depth to the story, while still making it manageable for casual readers. I liked many of the characters and appreciated how 2-dimensional they were. I noticed how Hunter, Selena, and Pearl all held back their thought that someone else wouldn't understand how a situation was good AND bad. They all noticed it but thought nobody did. That was clever.

I'd never read Unger before. This makes me excited to read her upcoming release and some older ones.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. I purchased for my library.

This one stayed on my list for quite some time. The archive date has long passed but I have finally picked it up and still wanted to add my feedback.

I was completed gripped from start to finish and the intense storyline kept me turning page after page! If you like a domestic thrillers then this is definitely one for you!

I did not finish this one, it was not for me, I couldn't relate to the characters, and just did not care for the story.

Wow. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to read this! Hooks you in right from the start and keeps reeling you back in with every twist. I didn’t want to put it down and stayed up way past my bedtime to finish! Outstanding!

This one was full of twists and turns. I think the first half of the book had me quite engaged and I seemed to have lost a bit of it for the second half. It did remind me a bit of a book I have read before but I can't seem to think what it was. I enjoyed it overall and sorry I waited so long to read it! 3 1/2 stars

Two strangers meet on a train and confess their secrets. One is sleeping with her boss and the other suspects her husband of sleeping with the nanny. When the nanny disappears the story takes all sorts of twists and turns. The story is told from different viewpoints and nobody can be trusted to be telling the truth. Overall I enjoyed this twisty train ride. There were a few surprises. The suspense kept me turning the pages. Enjoy

Confessions of the 7:45 is a wild ride! The story is a very complex, fast paced thriller that I did not want to put down. Selena met a stranger on the 7:45 and confessed that she knows that her husband is sleeping with their nanny. Then the nanny mysteriously disappears. The premise was very unique which is a nice change for a thriller. This one will keep you entertain and keep you guessing with all of the unpredicted twists!

Thank you to NetGallery and to Harlequin Trade Publishing for giving me a copy for.a honest review.

Fast paced thriller about two women on a train who decide to confess their secrets to each other. One knows that her husband is having an affair with the nanny while she is at work. The other confesses to having an affair with her married colleague who is actually married to her boss. A good plot with a few twists. Fast-paced.

Dang Lisa Unger can sure write a twisty take that keeps you riveted! The idea of a chance encounter turning dark and creepy was so interesting to me, you just never know…

How can it be possible that every book Unger writes just keeps getting better and cements her place is in my mystery-loving heart as one of the best. "Confessions on the 7:45" is one of those books that you sit down with and don't get up until you finish. In this carefully crafted domestic thriller, the characters are brought to life as each layer of the mystery is revealed. Fear not, there are plenty of twists and turns along the way, so even the savviest reader will enjoy this one.

Unger gives us a story full of plot twists with Confessions on the 7:45. A chance meeting of two women facing their own unique tribulations turns out to be anything but. One is sleeping with her bosses husband, while the other has just caught her unemployed husband and the nanny in an entanglement using the nanny cam in her home. Soon one discovers that there is much more than meets the eye to the situation unraveling around her. Could she end up paying for mistakes made long ago by someone close to her?

I'm a fan of this author and I have loved all of her books, but I think this one is my favorite. I don't know if she's hit her stride or it was my frame of mind (or something else), but I was totally drawn in and finished this book in just a couple of sittings (which is not usual for me). This book had it all: an intriguing meeting between two people (on a train nonetheless!), twisted relationships, multiple points of view, secrets, lies...it was one of the most "active" reads in recent memory. I really had to pay attention (which I enjoyed). In spite of all of that, I was never confused. The author does a fantastic job of weaving everything together into a plausible, page-turning story. The only thing I would caution is to carve yourself out a chunk of time to read it, because it will draw you in and you will want to drop everything else to read to the end. Great book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

The covert art is pretty in tune to what the book is about.

The book is well-written and easy to follow. Lisa Unger is extremely talented and never disappoints with her books. This one is no different!

I'd definitely recommend this to my friends.

Great start and while I had figured out some of the twists it kept me engaged. However the ending was so anticlimactic and disappointing. However I will try more by this author.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

This was a wonderfully twisty story that pulls you in from the start. It is fast-paced and one you will not want to put down.

Lisa Unger is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. She definitely knows how to weave a story that keeps you on your toes. Just when I thought I had everything figured out there was another wrench thrown into the machine. Greatly enjoyed the story and the characters that this author created.

Selena is really too trusting of a person for this day and age. There were lots of things she did throughout the story that made me cringe. Giving out personal information to strangers is never a good idea, but when you are at your breaking point it's an even worse idea. What ensues is the complete destruction of many lives connected unknowingly to one central source.

Selena tries so hard to keep up appearances while everything is unraveling. Keeping up the pretense of the perfect life and perfect family. When the day comes that she can no longer do that she must embrace her inner strength to get through all of the obstacles that now lie in her way.

This was one wild ride. Twisting and turning until I honestly was trying to figure out who didn't have secrets or something more sinister to hide. Most definitely kept my on my toes and not wanting to put it down until I was finished. Can't wait to read what's next from this author.

Confessions on the 7:45 will mess with your brain. Just when you think you have it all figured out, and who did what, the floor shifts and you realize you know nothing!

This book is a psychological thriller at its best! Strongly recommend, if you want to stay up all night trying to figure out exactly what Lisa Unger has up her sleeve!
