You had the perfect life but all you were missing was a baby. Except you didn’t have the perfect life, you were in a relationship crumbling under the pressure of conceiving and now you’re alone and have been told you will never have children. So what do you do when a stranger on a train puts a tiny bundle into your arms and then gets off at the next station? What do you do when searching her baby bag you find a note which says to protect that baby?
Ellen has longed for children and on her journey back from the IVF clinic she befriends Kathryn and baby Mia. When Kathryn asks Ellen to look after Mia whilst she takes a call Ellen happily obliges; she’s just trying to be helpful and she craves the weight of a baby in her arms. When a few minutes pass and then a few more, only for Ellen to see Kathryn walking down the platform she realises something isn’t right. Ellen plans to go to the police at her final stop until she sees a note, ‘Don’t Trust the police, don’t trust anyone’
The whole story sees Ellen trying to protect baby Mia but without knowing too much about who she is or why she needs protecting (this in unveiled during the course of the book, don’t you worry). It sees one woman reaching out to another in a time of need, even when they know no more than each other names and this only adds to the readers questions. How desperate can you be to give your child to a stranger?
Like with every good thriller the stories within this book are not what they seem. Ellen is a regular person who makes judgements and assumptions about everyone she meets, just as we do as a reader. We are lulled into a false sense of security seeing through her eyes the other characters in the book and this further increases the reading pleasure as it creates additional surprises.
Trust Me is the second of Logan’s books I have read and one I once again enjoyed. The story is full of plot twists (some expected and some not so much) and his style of writing always has me wanting to know more. I enjoy the suspense of thrillers and Logan is a pro at leaving you guessing and speculating from the off. This is a 4 star read for me!
