Everything that is yours, was once hers . . .
Enter the world of One Folgate Street and discover perfection . . . but can you pay the price?
For all fans of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN and GONE GIRL comes this spellbinding Hitchcockian thriller which takes psychological suspense to the next level.
Jane stumbles on the rental opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to live in a beautiful ultra-minimalist house designed by an enigmatic architect, on condition she abides by a long list of exacting rules. After moving in, she discovers that a previous tenant, Emma, met a mysterious death there - and starts to wonder if her own story will be a re-run of the girl before. As twist after twist catches the reader off guard, Emma's past and Jane's present become inexorably entwined in this tense, page-turning portrayal of psychological obsession.

Caitlyn L, Reviewer
When you read a book that has already been compared by numerous other reviewers to Gone Girl and The Girl On The Train, there are certain expectations. One is that there will be a shock twist... and another is that at least one of the protagonists will turn out to be an unreliable narrator.
What makes The Girl Before unique is that just about everyone turns out to be an unreliable narrator. The book doesn't wait until the end to start revealing twists and turns in the story; they start coming from early on and don't stop until the book ends almost back in the place where it began.
There isn't an awful lot more I can say without getting hugely spoilery, but I can most certainly praise the author's powerfully descriptive writing, their talent for drawing with a few words a scene that seems incredibly real to the reader. I absolutely LOVED this book, and I'll definitely go to see the movie.
Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book for review through NetGalley.
