>Wow - thanks Ish - I’ve read both books - "Gone Girl" and "Girl on the Train" (and Woman in White for that matter).  I can’t really say which I enjoyed more -  "Gone Girl" is more twisty and surprising while "Girl on the Train” is more literary (I suppose - more interesting structure and character development,  great atmosphere,  what the reviewer said.)

>I’ve read other crime fiction focusing on women’s domestic scenes and issues -   "Elizabeth is Missing” by Emma Healey  was pretty good this past year (dementia)  as well as "Big, Little Lies” by Liane Moriarty from last year.  There are others - “Trespass” by Rose Tremain might fit this category.  The crimes are a bit different, the motives are different - I enjoy the well written ones,  not those written for the sensational impact.
