“Revenge is fleeting.

Vengeance lasts a lifetime.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The movie Clue if it had been set on a train. Everyone is guilty and you can trust no one.

Such a fun and engaging read; I loved going round and round with the characters in such a claustrophobic yet dynamic setting.

Great book, very different setting/characters/plot for this author. I LOVE the Agatha Christie vibes, as she was my fave author when I was a kid, and who got me into mystery novels. Denser than usual for this author, a richer read and not quite as fast-paced until the end. Which I actually liked - the lead-up is great.

The author threw every twist possible in here to the point it was so outlandish and dumb. Also I hated all the characters and found them equally forgettable. This feels like AI Riley Sager.
