![]() ![]() The narration style put me in mind of The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, as did the internal musings about life after death in general. I don't tend to enjoy the amnesia trope on a good day and I found this part of the novel unconvincing.ĭespite the creepy premise and terrifically spooky cover, Platform Seven reads more like a domestic noir novel and could easily have been marketed very differently. The majority of the novel is Lisa recalling the lead up to her death and how she ended up in her current state. Lisa enjoys watching the train station employees and the commuters come and go until the man's suicide triggers a series of events and the clearing of cobwebs in Lisa's memory. Lisa is our protagonist and she is a ghost in the afterlife, haunting Peterborough Railway Station with little memory of what happened or why she's there. He is watched by Lisa Evans and she knows what he plans to do because she did the same thing just 18 months earlier. In a train station on platform seven, a man has decided to commit suicide. ![]() Platform Seven by Louise Doughty has a premise that hooked my interest early on. ![]()
