I put off reading this book for a long time because of some of the reviews and now I wonder why I waited; I really enjoyed it. The story starts out being told by one person and then eventually adds perspectives from two others. It is an evolving plot, brilliantly and thoughtfully written, and the characters are well developed and believable. I can imagine knowing Rachel, Megan, and Anne. And even though I figured out who the culprit was, I continued to enjoy the way the plot logically unfolded. This is an astounding first thriller, and Paula Hawkins will have a tough time outdoing herself in the future. Let's hope her success continues.
