Wow this book is fast paced I nearly needed to put on my trainers to keep up !
Ellen is on a train after another appointment at the fertility clinic. She finds out that her ex’s new partner is pregnant and is feeling very sad. A young woman Kathryn, boards the train and looks flustered, her phone keeps ringing with a male face filling screen and she is bruised. She asks Ellen if she minds if she sits with her, then asks if she would hold baby Mia while she makes a phone call. After the day that she has, had holding a baby seems like a joy so she agrees.
After a while she starts to wonder where Kathryn has gone and then sees her walking down the platform away from the train at a stop. Ellen looks through the bag she has left and there is a note asking her to look after Mia and to trust no-one.
What happens next is thrilling, unexpected and high suspense. A man grabs Ellen and holds her at gun point he looks like the man on Kathryn’s phone what has she got herself mixed up in. I really enjoyed the pace and tension. Who is Kathryn? Why would anyone give their baby to a stranger ? How will Ellen clear her own name after she goes to the police?
We are introduced to DI Gilbourne and his partner rookie Holt, they interview Ellen and Gilbourne is not convinced that Ellen is at the heart of this investigation. I felt sad for Ellen as she desperate for a child and this has not helped her at all. She also wants to know how she ended up being involved with this and starts to investigate herself. I did want to shout at Ellen when she does this which adds to the stress of this story all the more.
This is a great thriller, twisty and scary in places as someone is looking for Kathryn and Mia and they will not stop until they do. I really enjoyed this book it is definitely one that I could have read in one sitting. If you like a galloping thriller, then this book is for you.
4 stars ****
