If I had to describe T.M. Logan’s Trust Me in three words it would be imaginative, addictive, brilliant, this book is all these things and more, it’s the definition of a ‘thriller’ he provides the reader with excitement, anxiety, tension, suspense, fear, whilst the plot twists and turns like the proverbial roller coaster. Ellen is on a train and minding her own business when she is approached by a woman who asks her to hold her baby Mia whilst she takes a call. But then she spots the Woman leaving the train and Ellen is left holding the baby alongside a mysterious note, asking her to look after the baby and not to ‘trust anyone, not even the police’. What begins as an intriguing mystery soon becomes a heart pounding suspense filled read.
Ellen, tormented by her inability to bear children biologically, immediately connects with Mia as she is everything Ellen has ever wanted. She’s like a tigress with her young cub as her ‘motherly instincts’ kick in, she will do anything to protect Mia from unknown dangers. Ellen is an intriguing character, at first she seems to be your ‘Mrs Average’ but as the plot progresses she becomes more confident and plucky. Like Ellen, I became paranoid, it’s impossible to know who to trust when you're not sure where the danger lies or the people involved.
This book felt very much like a jigsaw puzzle. The author gives you the pieces of the puzzle and you have to work out how they all fit together. I must admit come the halfway mark I had no idea of the who? Why? or how everything could fit together! The author keeps you guessing all the way through. Sometimes this story felt a little far-fetched but as it’s a fictional book, I was happy to go along for the ride. Trust Me is a fast-paced mystery that has all the elements needed for an exciting read, misdirection, unreliable characters and a plot that’s complex and well executed. Highly recommended to all thriller lovers.
