 16 year-old Reggie drops out of school after her mother's death but is still studying for her A levels with tutoring from a retired teacher while she's working as a part-time mother's help (aka nanny) for a doctor. But then her employer disappears. Meanwhile, a train crashes on the line just behind her tutor's house, leaving an injured Jackson Brodie with amnesia.

Rather darker than the earlier books in the series, especially in the middle part when the title just about summed my feelings up. Although I was rooting for Reggie, it was impossible to shake off a feeling of inevitable catastrophe.
