In the Dying Minutes- J.A Baker- thriller
Leah is a troubled soul. She was in a crash on a train and is now living in a flat and way
behind with the rent. She isn't sure of what is real anymore as sometimes she blinks and
what she thinks is real disappears. What she does know is that Chloe has broken up her
relationship and she is determined to get her man Jacob back again, if only she can make
Chloe see that she is in the wrong and the wrong relationship. Years ago Leah was on a
cliff top with her brother and a young child who fell over the cliff top. Her brother was
always blamed despite him being adamant that he hadn't done it and never could. His
memory wasn't clear but he knows that he would never have done such a thing. Leah
blamed him although retracted her statement to the police and it was seen as
misadventure. Leah is now seeing a therapist as she is also seeing her dead brother. She
knows she was going somewhere when on the train but can't remember why or where.
A fairly dark read of a young woman suffering (undiagnosed) mental illness, her
thoughts and attacks on others which give her power and a thrill of control- something
she appears to be short of in normal life. Of tragedy and trying for redemption. A
clever plot and a different style for this author. One to ponder.
