Description
The new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Louise Doughty
Platform Seven at 4am: Peterborough Railway Station is deserted. The man crossing the covered walkway on this freezing November morning is confident he's alone. As he sits on the metal bench at the far end of the platform it is clear his choice is strategic - he's as far away from the night staff as he can get.
What the man doesn't realise is that he has company. Lisa Evans knows what he has decided. She knows what he is about to do as she tries and fails to stop him walking to the platform edge.
Two deaths on Platform Seven. Two fatalities in eighteen months - surely they're connected?
No one is more desperate to understand what connects them than Lisa Evans herself. After all, she was the first of the two to die.

2,5/5 stars This book had very high highs, but also very low lows. Whilst I was super intrigued when Lisa was talking about her life before her death, and her relationships, and their developments, I found myself not caring about the rest at all. There were a lot of parts where she, as a ghost, just wandered around and observed things, and people, I had no interest in. This book is pretty long, and I feel like the first and last few chapters really could have been shortened a bit to make it more enjoyable. Like this, however, the story dragged, and I found myself losing focus while listening to the audiobook. Especially the first few chapters were super boring, and almost made me dnf the book. Overall, a good thriller, but only around the middle.
