Psychological thriller about a man who makes a spur of the moment decision that destroys his seemingly happy life in an instant. Of course, I’m still a bookworm as well: I love the pull of a great book, one that you want to read on the bus, in the bath, at the dinner table, under the desk at work. This book had more characters than narrators and at times, it was difficult to identify who was who.

Trust Me by T.M. Logan | Goodreads

Whilst there is plenty of action with dubious characters all telling Ellen to trust them, the whole thing makes no sense until the identify of baby Mia is revealed well over halfway through. The story became less plausible, the main character made stupid decisions and I pretty much sussed the villain long before the end. There were several different plot lines that seemed very disparate, and I felt took my attention from the main story line. Separated from her husband and desperately wanting a baby of her own, there were times when some decisions she made had me shouting in my head “why are you doing that…” and I had a horrible feeling that things wouldn’t end well, however her protective instinct towards a stranger’s baby and the unknown danger that they both faced, spurred her on.By the time I finished the book I felt there were more positive things about the story than negative. I figured out rather early on what was really going on, which turned this into a boring reading experience. While driving home with his young son, Joe Lynch spies his wife’s Melisa’s car turn into a hotel parking lot. One day on the way home from picking up his son William from school they see his wife’s car turning left ahead of them.

In fact whenever I had a spare half-hour, I wrote – on trains, planes, in bed, at the kitchen table before anyone else was up, by the pool while my kids had swimming lessons. I wouldn't say I had the entire story figured out but I picked up on very quickly who was the character that was most guilty and frequently lying. Most satisfactory is

This book managed to shock, delight, and amaze this thriller-lover with every single turn in the plot. As Joe fights to prove his innocence, he comes to realize his happily ever after has been built on lies.

The characters in the story were hugely interesting and believable, which made it really difficult to know who to trust, I was doubting EVERYONE! A disappointing and not always coherent novel that is more thriller than mystery but a standout protagonist in ballsy, resourceful Ellen which almost made up for some very daft moments! When Joe Lynch stumbles across his wife driving into a hotel car park while she's supposed to be at work, he's intrigued enough to follow her in.

She is torn between handing Mia to authorities and obeying the note but not long after she gets off the train, they are both abducted. I am beyond excited to have discovered this author, and now I’m even more excited to learn that he has another book out! It’s a straightforward psychological thriller, no clever devices, but that doesn’t mean it’s dull or boring by any stretch.
