Ex-Detective Inspector Jess is on her way home from a night out with a former colleague & boards the train home on the London Underground. It's getting late but there are several people in the carriage so it seems safe enough, but when the train comes to an abrupt stop & the lights go out, it may not be safe after all. Especially when Jess finds the driver dead in his cabin, stabbed through the neck & all communication in the cabin cut off.

OutsmartYourShelf Only someone in the carriage could have gained access in the dark, Jess is stranded without a means of getting help & with a murderer.

This is a solid thriller for the most part. It flagged a little in the middle but it had a strong ending & a likeable main character in ex-police detective Jess. Although the narrative is mainly from Jess's point of view, the reader does hear from almost all the other passengers over the course of narrative,

OutsmartYourShelf so unlike Jess, we get to know some of what they are holding back. A few aspects are questionable (I thought the driver doors were locked for safety, & it took a while for anyone to question whether Jess was really a police detective or not) but overall I enjoyed it. 4🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Avon Books UK, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
