VBT# Confessions on the 7:45 - Lisa Unger
Review: Confessions on the 7:45 - Lisa Unger - October 2020
It's been a wee while since I have read a
mystery novel and recently a friend of mine was talking about getting back into
crime and I knew I had a tour date coming up for this book, so decided while
giving my partner scratches as he wasn't feeling too well, to read Confessions
on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger. It's also been a long time since I have read one of
Lisa's novels, I hopped on Goodreads and seems it was 2013 when I last read a
handful of her books, mainly pre-blogging dates as there aren't any reviews
added. This book follows three women mainly all are going through something and
connected. Our main female Selena has just discovered her husband Graeme is
cheating on her with their nanny Geneva. On this day, in particular, she
catches the late train and meets a lady called Martha whom we later discover as
Anne/Pearl among other names. Martha and Selena share their stories and confide
in one another as who better to confess to than strangers on a train. However,
after her confession, Selena is about to discover that all isn't well in her
family circle when strange things start occurring starting with the
disappearance of their nanny Geneva. As the story goes along, we read from
multiple points of view and uncover a deadly tangle of lies and secrets that
surround not only Selena but Martha and that they will be connected in ways
neither thought was possible. I have to admit, I did enjoy this novel but in
parts found it to be quite busy with the various tangents and different
characters that were introduced to keep the story bouncing along. If you are in
the mood for a new "strangers on the train" type mystery, then check
out Lisa Unger's new novel "Confessions on the 7:45".
