Ellen Devlin, 41, a project manager for an aerospace company, is travelling home to South Greenford on the train after an appointment at a fertility clinic when she learns via Instagram that her ex-husband, Richard, is expecting a baby with his new partner. Ellen received more upsetting news at the clinic and is devastated that he’s going to be a father after they tried for a baby, with numerous cycles of IVF, for several years without success. They’ve only been separated for three months.
A woman with a young baby gets on the train – the last thing that Ellen wants to see. She ends up sitting opposite Ellen and introduces herself as Kathryn and her three-month-old baby as Mia. The baby is very sweet and smiley and Ellen can’t help but smile back.
When Kathryn’s mobile phone rings, she asks Ellen to hold Mia while she takes the call and walks to the area between the two carriages, by the doors. A few minutes later, the train stops at the small station of Seer Green and Jordans, the last stop before Marylebone, and Ellen, who is still holding baby Mia, is shocked to see Kathryn outside the train and hurrying past her window!
Ellen is confused but tries to stay calm and checks Mia’s change bag, where she discovers a hastily scrawled note, addressed to her, which says ‘Please protect Mia. Don’t trust the police. Don’t trust anyone.’ She isn’t sure what to do but, straightaway, she’s suspicious of everyone on the train!
When the train arrives at Marylebone, Ellen makes a decision that ends up embroiling her in some scary incidents! She has no idea what she’s getting herself involved in but she soon learns that no one can be trusted.
This book had some great twists and turns and I was frantically turning the pages as Ellen did one crazy thing after another and put herself in danger! She was involved to such an extent that it seemed like things could only end in an awful way.
Ellen was a great character and seemed very brave and determined, and also a bit reckless! She was pretty fearless when faced with some frightening men in very dangerous situations, but knew exactly how to handle things.
Overall, I really enjoyed this exciting and gripping read and I raced through it in a few hours, desperate to learn how everything was going to be resolved. It was cleverly plotted, with plenty of red herrings and misdirection.
The story was told from several different points of view and I was never really sure if I’d sussed things out or not, but I did guess who was the baddie towards the end!
The book had a great pace and tension to it and it kept my attention throughout, with never a dull moment. Just when you thought things were calming down, something else dramatic would happen!
T.M. Logan gets better with each book and I can’t wait to read his next one! I must also go back and read his debut, Lies, which I still haven’t read! If you haven’t read any books from this author before, I’d definitely recommend his action-packed and tense thrillers! Great stuff!
