Summary

She takes the same train every day. But this is a journey she’ll never forget. The Passenger is a stunning psychological thriller with a nerve-shredding climax. Perfect for fans of Mark Edwards, K.L. Slater and Miranda Rijks.

Amanda is a hardworking single mum, completely focused on her job and her daughter, Louise. She’s been saving for years, and now, finally, she can afford to give up work and chase her dream. But then, on her commute home from London to Brighton, she meets a charming stranger - who seems to know everything about her. He delivers an ultimatum. She needs to give him the code for the safe where she keeps her savings before the train reaches Brighton - or she’ll never see Louise again. Convinced that the threat is real, Amanda is stunned, horrified. She knows she should give him the code, but she can’t. Because she also knows there is a terrible secret in that safe which will destroy her life and Louise’s, too....

didnt like female characters

the Voice of the male characters was interesting and well chosen but I feel bad choice for the mother. the character of the females were very unlikeable. also quite shallow . no real psychological profiling of characters especially the women which would have made book more engaging. the story itself was to me quite original..I haven't read one similar. araminta hall books provide more fleshed out dangerous women, but id still give this 3 stars overall

Not bad for free

I thought the beginning of the story was quite slow but it improved and quite enjoyed it.
I thought the narration was quite good.

A great “listen in a day” book

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. No unnecessary waffle. As others have said-it’s fiction! Not en entirely believable story line but I’ve read much, much worse. Whilst the main character comes across a bit monotone, I feel that adds to the twisty secrets she hides. I liked the drop-fed twists. I’d read more by this author.

Gripping fast paced plot

This was one of the best books I’ve read by the author so far. Excellent narration. I judge a book by whether it grips me and I’m not bored listening to it. I’m quite hard to please. This ticked my boxes for a gripping read while doing mundane household tasks. Very very good compared to sone of the stuff I’ve been trying to get gripped by and having to return. This one has been worth the credit

This title had me gripped over 2 days binge listening

This title was brilliant and I loved both the female and male narrators. I listened to it in a 2 day binge listen and will certainly be looking out for more by the same author. 5 stars all round.

Ok, but I could think of a better ending

One of his better books, but not his best in my opinion. Good story, but he could have made the epilogue a bit better.
