Publisher's summary
Two strangers, a child and a split second choice that will change everything....
Ellen was just trying to help a stranger. That was how it started: giving a few minutes respite to a flustered young mother sitting opposite her on the train. A few minutes holding her baby while the mother makes an urgent call. The weight of the child in her arms making Ellen's heart ache for what she can never have.
Five minutes pass. Ten.
The train pulls into a station and Ellen is stunned to see the mother hurrying away down the platform without looking back. Leaving her baby behind. Ellen is about to raise the alarm when she discovers a note in the baby's bag, three desperate lines scrawled hastily on a piece of paper:
Please protect Mia. Don't trust the police. Don't trust anyone.
Why would a mother abandon her child to a stranger? Ellen is about to discover that the baby in her arms might hold the key to an unspeakable crime. And doing the right thing might just cost her everything....

The twist
As the train pulls into a station, Ellen is stunned to see the woman step off the train and rush away down the platform, leaving her baby behind.
Then she discovers a note in the baby’s bag, three desperate lines scrawled hastily on a piece of paper:
Please protect Mia
Don’t trust the police
Don’t trust anyone
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
My Thoughts:
From the very first pages of Trust Me, I was caught up in the suspense of the mother, the baby, and the primary character who steps in to help the young mother. We are enmeshed in the story behind what is happening to Kathryn, as well as wondering what is going on with Ellen, and why she has decided to help.
When the police become involved, we are curious about their agenda, as already we are suspicious of them. Which police officer has his own dark plans and what will finally happen.
As the tale unfolds, I thought I had it all figured out. I just knew which person to trust and who not to trust…and then I was blindsided by what actually happened. An intense thriller that earned five stars.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
