My thoughts : First off a big thank you for the publisher Bookouture , the author Claire Cooper and to NetGalley for letting me read The Couple on the Train . and now why did I like this so much , fast paced thriller as well as unpredictable., that had me hooked from the very start , and I loved how it's told in the past and present as well as 2 different perspectives and the plus side of this crazy ride is that you don't know who's actually doing the telling of the story which give it a spooky feeling because all you can do is set back and watch the story play out .
About the Book:
I look at where the woman was sitting. There’s a scrap of paper tucked into the gap between the seats. With shaking hands, I pick it up. The note reads: Help me.
At first glance, the couple on the train look normal. She’s dressed smartly, a floral patterned bag on her lap. But her hands are clenched, her fingers white. The man with her has his arm looped through hers, but not in a comforting way. He’s holding her too tightly.
She catches my eye and I see desperation there. I’m opening my mouth to speak when the train grinds to a halt and the man stands, hauling her away. She looks at me again, then at the seat behind her, her face pale.
I find the message she left behind. Help me.
When I call the police, there’s no sign of the couple on CCTV. The kind detective gently suggests that it’s not surprising, with my history, that I am imagining things. Wanting to save someone.
I know what I saw. If no one will believe me, I’ll find her myself.
But as I search, what I find seems personal. Little things that remind me of what happened ten years ago. And I think I’m being followed, that someone broke into my flat.
The hunt for the woman on the train is leading me somewhere I should never go. Can I save her, or will I be next?
Claire Cooper grew up in a small village in south Wales before moving to London to study for a degree in Ancient History and Egyptology. After a spell as a development worker in Nepal, she lived in the capital for many years, spending much of that time as a civil servant in a range of different Government departments. She hung up her bowler hat when she discovered she much preferred writing about psychotic killers to Ministerial speeches. More recently, she returned to Wales, and now lives with her husband by the sea in Pembrokeshire. She also writes as C. J. Cooper.
