Two strangers meet on a train: one of them, Ellen, a woman who knows she will never carry a child of her own, and the other, a young mother with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Although Ellen is uncomfortable in the presence of the young woman and her baby, at first, she quickly finds herself besotted with the tiny bundle when she offers to hold her while the mother takes an apparently urgent phone call. When the mother fails to return to her seat, Ellen is at a loss to explain why anyone would abandon their child, but she is also compelled to protect the baby in any way she can - especially when she finds the note that the young woman has left behind...
Please protect Mia... Don't trust the police... Don't trust anyone...
Ellen's life is about to be turned upside down in her quest to shelter this tiny human from harm - a child that holds the key to solving an appalling crime. Even if this means putting herself in the path of a dangerous serial killer...
Trust Me finds T.M. Logan at the top of his thriller game, with a story so deliciously complex and twisty that you will find yourself unable to decide who the murderer is until the thrilling climax is actually upon you. There are dodgy characters galore here and Logan throws red herrings and distraction techniques your way pretty much non-stop, so, very much like the feisty Ellen herself, you don't know who to trust.
The whole premise to this book is rather clever. It lies in the way Logan uses Mia as the focus of the story all the way through. Why is a tiny baby so important in solving a string of crimes? The truth, when it comes, is shocking, and I have to say, refreshingly quirky. As usual, T.M Logan writes his women well in this tale, and, in using a baby to also underpin Ellen's personal story, it allows our well-drawn protagonist to find a life-line to pull herself out of the sad place she has found herself in - her compulsion to save Mia helps her to save herself at the same time, and I found that really heart-warming.
I thoroughly enjoyed this latest thriller from T.M. Logan's growing stable of gripping reads and consumed the whole book in a single sitting. If you like our thrillers complex and twisty, with a great central character and a slick storyline then this is going to be for you too!
