Review: 20 minutes on the Tube - Daniel Hurst

Review: 20 Minutes on the Tube - Book #1 20 Minutes Series - Daniel Hurst - February 2020

I had recently won an Amazon voucher and was scrolling through looking at books I might want to grab and I stumbled across the 20 minutes series by Daniel Hurst. Reading the blurbs, they sounded fascinating and so I thought, why not and I clicked the "buy now". This book was intriguing as it goes to show that a lot can happen in 20 minutes and how often our worlds can interweave and connect without even knowing it. This book is written in a way similar to an anthology where each chapter represents one of twenty people in twenty minutes. This first book represents those twenty minutes in the morning while everyone is getting ready for work. Every day millions of people catch the London Underground Tube and this book is a glimpse into the lives of twenty of them for just twenty minutes that Monday Morning. We have Jelena who is being trafficked and managed to escape if only for that morning, Anke who is leaving her husband, the boy on his way to meet his father for the first time, and then his father Craig at the same time ready to end his life, Louise who loves to steal to feel powerful and Carol whose received bad news to Valentin who loves to people watch and plot murders, April who is ready to go on a first date and many more. Each with their problems, their issues, and life happening, but with one thing in common - they are all catching the London Underground Tube at the same time this Monday Morning. I am looking forward to reading more as I did enjoy this book and once finished, you do get a freebie link to a short story called 20 minutes Earlier which features the same characters but well, you get the gist... 20 minutes earlier.
