Suppose you are on train and someone hands you a baby to hold for a bit. Sounds routine but the same premise in Logan’s hands, turns into a crazy rollercoaster ride in his latest book, Trust me.

Having read Holiday, I love his style and the way his stories pull you in and keep you there till the end. That is what happens with this book as well.

Gist:
Ellen is travelling on train and finds herself opposite a young mother holding a beautiful baby opposite her. She agrees to look after her for minutes while the mum sorts herself out only to realise, she is left alone with the baby and a note that says,

“Please protect Mia. Don’t Trust anyone, Don’t trust police.”

This triggers off a series of events that Ellen has no time to fathom before realising that she and the baby are in danger. She has to make decisions based on scraps of information thrown at her, before it is too late for her to act.

My review:
It is a fast-paced thriller, that leaves you no time to breathe as events collide into one another, a layered story that slowly unveils itself.

Love the title. Trust is such a loaded word and the story taps well into the times we live in.

It is a plot-driven story, where the events propel the story forward but the characters - Ellen, Dominic, Leon, Gilbourne, Holt are well well rounded too. Logan does a good job of juggling between them as the story progresses, each playing a crucial role, their backstories justifying their actions.

A high octane read for those who love thriller/race against time/who dunnit reads or boxsets.
