This was a solid thriller that I really enjoyed. I loved the premise and there were enough twists and turns to keep it interesting.
On the train home, Ellen agrees to watch a baby while her mother makes a phone call, only to see the woman disappear off the train and into the crowd moments later, leaving her with the child. The message is clear: don’t trust anyone. But what will she do? Take the child and run? Or do the right thing and turn her in?
I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because the reveal came slightly too slowly for my liking, and I did guess who the culprit was about 15 pages before it was revealed. I would also say that I didn’t completely understand the motivations of all of the characters; at least two could have been cut completely. But other than that, this was a solid book, with a solid plot and interesting characters. Would definitely highly recommend!
