What an adrenaline filled ride this book is. Like Ellen I boarded the train unaware of the crazy journey it would take us both on.
Ellen is on the train coming home from hospital after being told the devastating news she cannot have children. Making it worse is her ex husband is about to have a child with his new partner. So the last thing Ellen needs is a woman with an adorable baby to sit right near her and when the mother passes Ellen baby Mia, to take a phone call, the last thing she expects is to then see her getting off the train and fleeing. Leaving a note in the baby bag asking her to protect Mia and not trust anyone including the police.
Ellen is followed leaving the station so makes a detour, now talk about out of the frying pan into the fire. Things rapidly escalate and the next thing she’s got a gun in her back and told to drive. By Dominic the man who made the phone call to the mother on the train. Dun dun dun (felt like it needed some dramatics there).
With a navy background Ellen is resourceful and although I did roll my eyes at a few of her decisions I found I was rooting for her all the way. The tension is kept up throughout the book and narrated perfectly in the first person by Ellen and others in third person.
The paranoia was pitched to such a degree that I was questioning alongside Ellen who to trust. Certain things mentioned gave me my suspicions but were they red herrings to throw me off course? This book screams thriller and I loved every gripping page.
Trust me you need to read this!
