What to expect

No one will believe ... WHAT SHE SAW LAST NIGHT.

Jenny Bowen is going home. Boarding the Caledonian Sleeper, all she wants to do is forget about her upcoming divorce and relax on the ten-hour journey through the night.

In her search for her cabin, Jenny helps a panicked woman with a young girl she assumes to be her daughter. Then she finds her compartment and falls straight to sleep.

Waking in the night, Jenny discovers the woman dead in her cabin ... but there's no sign of the little girl. The train company have no record of a child being booked on the train, and CCTV shows the dead woman boarding alone.

The police don't believe Jenny, and soon she tries to put the incident out of her head and tells herself that everyone else is right: she must have imagined the little girl.

But deep down, she knows that isn't the truth.

Critics Review

A killer premise combined with page-turning, pulse-pounding suspense - this brilliant psychological thriller is a real must read!
Stephanie Marland
A taut, emotional thriller that rolls along at speed before derailing you several times - this is gut-punchingly good.
SJI Holliday
A truly original thriller, reminiscent of Hitchcock and Christie.
Woman's Way
A pacy, high-octane thriller with shades of John Buchan and Alfred Hitchcock and a brilliant premise.
Paddy Magrane
If you like your thrillers fast-paced, with lots of surprises along the way, this is definitely for you
