A missing child. A single witness. I am the girl on the platform. When new mother Bridget catches her train home from London, she witnesses something terrible: a young girl is taken from the platform, right before her eyes.
No one knows where I am. But no one is reported missing and with Bridget the only witness, she is written off as an attention seeker. Nobody believes her – not even her own husband.
Can you find me? But Bridget knows what she saw, and becomes consumed with finding the little girl. Only she can save the child’s life… but could delving into the mystery cost Bridget her own?
A dark and absorbing thriller with the impact of memorable series like Broadchurch or The Missing, perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train and Erin Kinsley’s Found.

A magnificently composed psychological thriller that will give goosebumps as the plot progresses. The plot is centered around a mother (Bridget)of a seven-month-old baby who is suffering from post-partum depression and sleep deprivation. On the way back from work one day, she sees a child being kidnapped from a station's platform, and which is not noticed by anyone else on the train. While the police confirm that there has not been any reported case of a missing child, a wild conspiracy theory starts brewing in Bridget's mind. As she begins her little investigation, she stumbles on a 20-year-old abduction case that has a similarity to the one she witnessed. From this point onwards, the plot takes a climacteric spin that will keep the readers glued until the dark and chilling revelation. Bridget's husband is very much supportive amidst the struggles faced by her, but that does not make their life perfect as they confront challenges of financial stability. Well recommended read.
