“[A] taut, beautifully-written novel.” —Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Anonymous Girl

From master of suspense Lisa Unger comes a riveting thriller about a chance encounter that unravels a stunning web of lies and deceit.

Be careful to whom you tell your darkest secrets…

Selena Murphy is commuting home from her job in the city when the train stalls out on the tracks. She strikes up a conversation with a beautiful stranger in the next seat, and their connection is fast and easy. The woman introduces herself as Martha and confesses that she’s been stuck in an affair with her boss. Selena, in turn, confesses that she suspects her husband is sleeping with the nanny. When the train arrives at Selena’s station, the two women part ways, presumably never to meet again.

But days later, Selena’s nanny disappears.

Soon Selena finds her once-perfect life upended. As she is pulled into the mystery of the missing nanny, and as the fractures in her marriage grow deeper, Selena begins to wonder, who was Martha really? But she is hardly prepared for what she’ll discover.

Expertly plotted and reminiscent of the timeless classic Strangers on a Train, Confessions on the 7:45 is a gripping thriller about the delicate facades we create around our lives.

Refreshingly free of predictable stereotypes

Reviewed in Australia on 8 November 2020

What is it about public transport that makes for such a great setting? Perhaps the weird and wonderful bunch of people you encounter? Lisa Unger has gone with the theme and used it as a great premise for her latest mystery, and I couldn’t resist it.

Striking up a conversation with a random stranger seems like a harmless thing to do, especially when the stranger initiates the conversation by telling you one of her own problems. In fact, it can be very cathartic to unburden yourself to someone you will most likely never meet again. This is what Selena Murphy is thinking when she meets a mysterious beautiful stranger on a train, and both women unburden themselves of their current life stresses. For Selena, it’s the knowledge that her husband has been sleeping with their nanny. She caught them in flagrante on the nanny cam, but is now unsure of what to do about it. Should she confront him? Sack the nanny? Ask for a divorce? Maybe the girl will just disappear, the stranger tells her, and with her all of Selena’s problems will simply go away. Which is a pleasant fantasy, until the nanny doesn’t turn up for work the next morning, and the police come knocking on Selena’s door ....

Lisa Unger is an author who knows how to create suspense from everyday situations, and she did a great job here. If you think that oversharing to a complete stranger is a strange premise, then you have never sat on a 20-hour international flight next to a slightly intoxicated weepy stranger who has decided to use you as an agony aunt (I now wear headphones when travelling alone, though I might be missing out on some great stories). Initially rolling out in four separate POVs, the story gained momentum with the disappearance of the nanny and Selena’s ever growing panic at her disintegrating once-comfortable life. The one thing I loved most about this book was that each and every character ended up surprising me, just when I thought I had them all worked out and put in their little stereotypical box. I read a lot of thrillers, and it takes a bit to blindside me, so this was a very pleasant turn of events.

CONFESSIONS ON THE 7:45 (great title, BTW) will appeal to readers who enjoy making up wild and wonderful theories as to which one of the bunch of flawed characters in the story is lying – or do they all have something to hide? You will need to read it to find out. Refreshingly free of predictable stereotypes, this mystery was as compulsive as it was entertaining, even though I am glad that none of those people are in my life. With an innocent conversation between strangers on a train starting off an avalanche of terrible events, this could happen to any of us – or could it? Hasn’t your mother ever warned you about talking to strangers? Maybe Selena should have heeded that bit of advice.

Confessions on the 7:45 is such a clever, twisty psychological thriller.

Reviewed in Australia on 10 October 2020

Confessions on the 7:45 is such a clever, twisty psychological thriller. I had heard great things about it and was so keen to read it. I was not disappointed at all. It kept surprising me with it's twists and red herrings and I loved it. It was a little confusing in the beginning with alot of characters and points of view but once the pieces started to fall into place I could not put it down.

Selena Murphy misses her usual train home after a meeting runs over at work. When she gets on the 7:45 train she meets Martha and the women get talking. They end up sharing their secrets - Selena that she suspects her husband is cheating with the nanny and Martha that she is sleeping with her boss. She thinks that is the end of it but it is only the beginning. She confronts her husband and realises that her marriage is on very shaky ground. And a few days later the nanny, Geneva, goes missing. Selena's world is about to implode very quickly.

This book has it all, blackmail, cheating spouse, ex boyfriends, con artists - never a dull moment. You won't believe how this all plays out.

psychological thriller

Reviewed in Australia on 4 February 2021

Two strangers meet on the 7:45 train and confess a secret to the other, thinking they will never meet again. Such a harmless chat leads to the unravelling of Selena’s life as her nanny disappears and the police seek answers. This psychological thriller is the usual domestic noir of the perfect family that collapses with all the lies and subterfuge. Whilst a promising premiss to begin and despite Lisa Unger’s capable storytelling, the final product does not hold up. Not one of her better works and only a three-star rating. As an independent reviewer, my thanks to the author for a copy gratis prior to publication. All opinions expressed herein are freely given and totally my own.

Quite an Impact

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2020

I kept thinking about this book for days after I finished reading it - that was the sort of impact it had on me. There were several strong characters and although it was not clear what their roles were and how they fitted into the storyline to begin with, it soon became clear as the story was woven together. I kept wanting to read as fast as my eyes and brain would let me so that I could find out what was going on and I was not disappointed as there were revelations and twists right to the end. A highly recommended read.

Gripping

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 November 2020

This was a really great read. I loved the multiple character point of view and how bit by bit the storyline started to unfold and connections between different parts became apparent. It was really easy to get into and just keep reading; one where you think you'll just read another chapter but because the character changes with each one then you definitely need to read a few more to find out the next part of the story. Some of the characters are pretty unlikable right from the off but I think that is a bit more relatable than when they are all nice. As is to be expected, there is a fair amount of suspension of disbelief required but I was enjoying the storyline so wasn't too bothered by that. I would recommend this to someone who fancies an easy read but with a bit of bite. I will keep an eye out for any further books by Lisa Unger and try to catch up with her back catalogue.

Clever thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2020

I thought I knew what was going to happen but I was wrong. The plot went in a different direction and I got way into the book before I had any idea who was who and what was going on and enjoyed the suspense .there were a few murders and It was a bit far fetched in parts but also believable in the way some people put their whole life online for all to see and easily exploit and a reminder maybe con men and scammers are following your posts .....I'd recommend this book It had lots of twists and turns and kept me turning the pages

2.5 stars

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2020

📖: Selena and Martha meet on the train. They have an instant connection. Martha confesses that she is sleeping with her married boss. Selena confesses that she believes her husband is sleeping with their nanny. Maybe life would be easier if your problems just disappeared. Selena and Martha go their separate ways but the nanny suddenly vanishes.

💭: This book made me a little bit angry at times because I hate hearing about cheating partners. Almost every single male character in this book is portrayed as a monster, which irritated me. There were no a-ha moments with this thriller; you can work out quite easily what is going on. I was guilty of wanting to race through this one so I can start the next book on my pile!

Another stunning read from Lisa Unger: a gripping story, superbly drawn characters and beautifully written - couldn't ask for more, except that the author writes another one quickly!
