I read this book in one day - yes, you must know. Great fast paced plot with good twists.
Selena discovers her husband, Graham, is having sex with the nanny. He was laid off, supposedly looking for a new job. Guess not.
Pearl lives with her mom, Stella - never told her dad's identity. Stella dates Charlie who starts to work at her bookstore.
Anne is having sex with her boss - she's a con artist working her latest scheme.
Geneva is the nanny. She goes missing after leaving Selena's house.
Little predictable but oh what a plot.
Highly recommend.

I enjoyed this. For me, it’s somewhere between 3 and 4 stars.
I didn’t really find especially suspenseful or thrilling. I wanted certain characters to be more wicked. Some of the writing was a bit repetitive.
That being said, it’s not every book that has a twist that both surprises me and makes total sense! So I was very happy during a good portion of this. It was interesting and had some real thought-provoking moments.

RATING: 3.5 STARS
2020; Park Row/Harlequin
I enjoyed Confessions on the 7:45. It was a fun ride, even though some bits were unbelievable and predictable. I think that is my issue with domestic suspense. I am looking for gritty cases, with flawed characters and psychological villains, and this genre is based on unlikeable characters and formulaic stories (complete with twist ending). I think I figured out a solution...I need to go in like I would with an action or romance film. Don't look into it too deep and suspend your belief. As I started to let go of my curiosity and just read it as it came, I started to like the story a lot more.

This is both interesting and readable, but I do think the plot is over-complex and, in some places, highly unlikely. This is a bit of a shame as it means the characters don't develop in quite the way they ought to. However, there are some nice twists and it's all very gripping. I do wish writers wouldn't make their main characters choose a writing career though - it's just too lazy and a bit of a cliche these days. Still, a good read.

I don't know if I've just consumed too much material in this niche or if it was a predictable read, but every time a twist was set it felt like I predicted it.
Not a bad read as a whole.
