Summary

She takes the same train every day. But this is a journey she’ll never forget. The Passenger is a stunning psychological thriller with a nerve-shredding climax. Perfect for fans of Mark Edwards, K.L. Slater and Miranda Rijks. 

Amanda is a hardworking single mum, completely focused on her job and her daughter, Louise. She’s been saving for years, and now, finally, she can afford to give up work and chase her dream. But then, on her commute home from London to Brighton, she meets a charming stranger - who seems to know everything about her. He delivers an ultimatum. She needs to give him the code for the safe where she keeps her savings before the train reaches Brighton - or she’ll never see Louise again. Convinced that the threat is real, Amanda is stunned, horrified. She knows she should give him the code, but she can’t. Because she also knows there is a terrible secret in that safe which will destroy her life and Louise’s, too....

“Hurst draws the reader into his characters’ world and turns our expectations on their heads as we try and navigate through this unusual and cleverly drawn plot." (On the Shelf Books)

LOVED THIS!💯🤗 Deirdra is my FAV narrator!💯👏🏽

I absolutely love all Daniel’s books but the cover of this one put me off, because i was thinking of the girl on the train kind of book🤔 but WOW this was SO much more than the cover looks🤗 IGNORE NEGATIVE REVIEWS…. This is a FICTIONAL story so the people who complain it’s not very “real” should try the “non fiction “ category instead🤦🏽‍♀️ I couldn’t put this down from the minute I started it, there’s not a single bit that is boring or has you drifting off thinking of other things. It’s fast paced and Deirdra is just the very BEST narrator and i now look for books with her narration because she really brings a a story to life even more💯👏🏽 on to my next Daniel Hurst book🤗 i am definitely a Daniel Hurst fan now, and PLEASE keep using Deirdra Daniel🙏🏽🤗 she is OUTSTANDING every single time 💯💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you Daniel for another BRILLIANT story💯👏🏽❤️ Thank you Deirdra for another book with OUTSTANDING narration💯👏🏽❤️ Thank you audible for another AMAZING book!🤗💯💯💯👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️

Gripping fast paced plot

This was one of the best books I’ve read by the author so far. Excellent narration. I judge a book by whether it grips me and I’m not bored listening to it. I’m quite hard to please. This ticked my boxes for a gripping read while doing mundane household tasks. Very very good compared to sone of the stuff I’ve been trying to get gripped by and having to return. This one has been worth the credit

This was recommended and did not disappoint

I listen to audible when I walk the dog or go on long car journeys. This book had me hooked at home as well.

Ok, but I could think of a better ending

One of his better books, but not his best in my opinion. Good story, but he could have made the epilogue a bit better.

Will not be delving deeper into this writer

The male voices changed back and forth depending on whose perspective it was. It was a bit stupid…
The plot was, I thought predictable, it was even worse, it was boring. The ending… may as well have ended with a dream. Basically the same effect.
