Five passengers. Five minutes until the next train … five minutes until someone dies.

Someone will die here this morning, at this suburban train station. It will happen in the next five minutes when the 7:06 to London Victoria arrives.

On a train platform, five strangers unknowingly face a chilling countdown: one of them will die in five minutes.

In this gripping tale narrated with a sharp tongue, the five main characters – a child, a mother, a businessman, an old woman, and a gambler – will draw you in with their stories of fate, sacrifice, and the relationships we build and those we break.

As the clock ticks down, we look away from the demonic child Gideon. We judge his mother Emma who must surely be to blame. We are curiously compelled by the successful yet damaged businessman Liam. We pity the furious old Mrs Worth who grew up in a macabre household and failed at being a mother. And we fall in love with the beautiful Sonny who is on the verge of gambling his life away.

My Thoughts:

This story is set at at a train station and includes five different people. No one knows what will happen when the next train arrives but someone’s life will get caught short. As we follow the story along we get to know each of the five people, and see which one the reader thinks could be the one. But not everything is as it seems as the train starts to arrive who will be the victim? you will go through every emotion reading this book, it is a tense, edge of the seat stuff and you won’t be disappointed. I found it a thought provoking read.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
