Finally, Mr. Logan appears to be back on form. Regular readers of this blog, will know that I started out on T. M. Logan’s second book, ’29 Seconds” and loved it. Naturally, I bought his first book, ‘Lies’ and it sucked. It was a hard book to follow and I never finished it. Then came The Vacation, which I also didn’t like. The Catch is next on my list.
I always give new writers a chance and I’m glad I have this policy as Trust Me, is brilliant. It has It’s pros and cons like all books. Basically, the story is about Ellen, a woman on a train, who is asked to hold on to a baby, so the mother can make a phone call. A few minutes later, she see the mother exiting the train platform as the train pulls away. Leaving her with a baby.
She gets off at the next station, looking for the mother in case she somehow managed to get back on the train. There are a lot of blocks that stop her from doing the right thing. She decides to look away the baby for a while longer. She needs a feed. Then, she can take the baby to the police.
Ellen get’s kidnapped.
The baby’s in danger.
Who can she trust?
Not the father, not the police, not the Ghost–a murderer who has resurfaced.
This book has everything a thriller needs to have. Several WTF moments, red herrings and a clueless Ellen, who must put all the pieces of the puzzle together, finally bringing her face to face with The Ghost.
The only issue I had was the constant worrying about every facet of the baby, Mia.
Drove me mad.
All in all, a great book.
8/10
