About this listen
A woman hiding a deadly secret. And the man who went in search of adventure, but found himself in danger ...
'The Girl on the Train with a dash of Russian poisoning and a classic femme fatale' Sunday Telegragh
'A fast-moving plot ... expertly told.' Alastair Campbell
'A cracking crime thriller.' The Sun
Gary Nelson has a routine for the commute to his rather dull job in the city. Each day, he watches as a woman on the train applies her make up in a ritual he now knows by heart. He's never dared to strike up a conversation . . . but maybe one day.
Then one evening, on the late train to Gipsy Hill, the woman invites him to take the empty seat beside her. Fiddling with her mascara, she holds up her mirror and Gary reads the words 'HELP ME' scrawled in sticky black letters on the glass.
From that moment, Gary's life is turned on its head. He finds himself on the run from the Russian mafia, the FSB and even the Metropolitan Police - all because of what this mysterious young woman may have witnessed. In the race to find out the truth, Gary discovers that there is a lot more to her than meets the eye . . .
This audiobook contains an exclusive interview between Alan Johnson and Melvyn Bragg.
The narration was excellent and I enjoyed the interview with Melvyn Bragg at the end.

Again, probably due to listening to the book I had to do a few playbacks on the ladt few chapters to make sure I wasn't getting my Russian /Ukraine names mixed up apart from that it was brilliant. Am left wondering if Mr J has another book up his sleeve, I'm thinking we could hear more about Knuckles or his other housemates. Highly recommend (have done already to my son).

Absolutely brilliant!

Beneath the vast number of predominately Russian characters there’s a decent enough thriller. But it’s watered down with too many side stories that really aren’t necessary.
And info dumps are not a good way to explain motives or off-screen action. Quite hard work and not as interesting as it sounded, not helped by rather stilted narration.
