I love a good train mystery, but this one left me wanting more!
Our main character Anna, invites all the people involved in destroying her life and family onto a train for revenge, and then things go horribly wrong. Taking place within a number of hours on a train with zero stops, the action is fast-paced and engaging. The highlights for me were the twists, which Sager always does well. Some aspects did veer closer to wacky though. I found Anna flat as well as the rest of the cast, so for me this one was fun but didn’t have the emotional bang that would’ve made justice sweeter.
Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton Books for the ARC!
