About this deal

The opening scene of Trust Me is probably the most believable part of this idiosyncratic novel as it lurches into seriously far-fetched territory and didn’t make a great deal of sense to me for well over a quarter of the novel. This started off on a train, and I like these settings. They seem to remind me of Liam Neeson being a transit worker (or what is it when they are on a plane and have authority?) A marshal. That's it. I think Ellen that was minding her own business that fateful day may have needed the help of someone like the awesome Mr Neeson! That little girl highlights a problem with this group though...that the parents don't seem to have control of their children and have no idea what their children are up to. The entire group is pretty messed up, no wonder so many "things" happen to them. While the parents are dealing badly with what is going on between them, the teenagers have their own problems that may outweigh those of the parents.

Thomas Muldrup Logan (November 3, 1840 – August 11, 1914) was an American soldier and businessman. He served as a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and afterward was greatly involved in railroad development in the Southern United States. The Catch book ending then jumped to a year later when Claire and Abbie were laying flowers on Ed and his son’s graves. Ed’s body had been found on the moor, as had the bodies of Ryan’s first wife Lori, his foster mother Eileen and two other unidentified women. By this time Abbie had given birth to her and Ryan’s son and the final words of the book reveal that his eyes were, “His father’s eyes”. It was strictly a one time deal, a once in a lifetime offer. A deal that might change her life. A deal that would almost certainly change someone elses. Six days ago, Joe Lynch was a happily married man, a devoted father, and a respected teacher living in a well-to-do London suburb. But that was before he spotted his wife’s car entering a hotel parking garage. Before he saw her in a heated argument with her best friend’s husband. Before Joe confronted the other man in an altercation where he left him for dead, bleeding and unconscious. This was an uneven reading experience: at times disjointed and messy, while other parts were thrilling, suspenseful and entertaining.Coral Girl responds We talked about this...Better a secret... Husband then responds...I know I feel so bad for lying to K. Poor Ellen, I really did feel for her as she was put through the mill just for helping a stranger. The situation is made worse for her by being left a note with the baby that says “don’t trust anyone”. With so many characters, some seemingly quite unpleasant I found it impossible to know who was trustworthy, if any of them were. TRUST ME was the second book I read about a woman giving her baby to a complete stranger at a random moment. WOMAN ON THE EDGE by Samantha Baily was the first. I loved the character development and I thought it was very well written. I can't wait to read his next book and can't wait to read Lies. This book had more characters than narrators and at times, it was difficult to identify who was who.

Full of unexpected twists and turns, this psychological thriller will leave readers eager for Logan's next book." - Publishers Weekly Tim was born in Berkshire and studied in London and Cardiff before becoming a national newspaper journalist.

Bestselling author TM Logan was a national newspaper journalist before turning to novel-writing full time. His thrillers have sold more than two million copies in the UK and are published in translation in 22 countries around the world including France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, South Korea, Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Greece, Romania and the Netherlands. This is the second book that I’ve read by T M Logan, and he really is exceptionally good. Give this one a try, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

I am reading (or listening to be precise) too many of this type of book. They are ok, but I probably need to venture out. So I did so, and went for a light and fluffy read that was softly centred around a cafe in New Zealand and ended up being too soft. So I need to strike the right balance, a middle of the road, if you will.I should also mention I paid full price for it. And that I have been WAITING AND WAITING to read it. This was a must read for me. But it is one of my biggest let down of the year. There is an awful lot of time spent groping around in the dark without knowing where the novel is going and because of this I found it a pretty unstimulating read. 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. I was frustrated as one inconceivable situation after another played out for a substantial period of the book but given the reader does not know why I struggled to care. Ellen is a smart and incredibly resourceful character who takes responsibility for ensuring the safety of Mia and is remarkably tenacious which all rings true when her fifteen year naval career is revealed. I found her incredibly relatable and was pleased that the author doesn’t linger on the possibility of Ellen’s infertility clouding her judgment with regards to Mia. The supporting characters, in particular Ellen’s pursuers and the police, are sketchily characterised and never feel remotely real and this was certainly a factor in how ludicrous I found much of this story. I had worked out the bad guy from pretty early on, largely because of how heavy-handedly the author tries to point readers in a different direction, and when the reveal finally comes the novel finishes abruptly and the perpetrator never really felt credible to me. The brief concluding snapshot three months on from the denouement leaves far too many unresolved questions to satisfy. You cant beat the start of this, unassuming lady on a train, annoyed by a baby and Mum that comes to sit with them, Mum ‘has’ to take a call and asks if she can hold the baby, train pulls into a station, Mum is seen walking away, baby left with unassuming lady After the first half of the book it became a very addictive read. I was captivated in the story and couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next. I was so intrigued. It was a big surprise with jaw dropping moments and lots of twists and turns. This was not a predictable read at all.
