Get me on this train and let me kill all these idiots because the main character won’t. I thought this was supposed to be a revenge story?

Want to know how bad this was?

80%. That’s how far I was before I just couldn’t do it any longer. And I never DNF a Sager novel. Disappointing.

I was hooked on this book from the beginning! It’s very Murder on the Orient Express vibes, which is engaging, fun, and keeps you wanting to know what happens next! I do think there were times when it felt set more in modern times than 1954, but it didn’t bother me too much.

he's dead, no he's not, she's dead, no she's not; hey crazy lady, you shoot gun... become first female FBI agent?

Give me a break. No one made a single correct decision.

I wanted to love this book, but I knew what was happening very early and the writing didn't make the story particularly compelling.

This is not one of Sager best book, I will say that is a very bad executed book. Is not " and then there were none" whete there are some segments that try to emulate this book. There were some very interesting twists that I didn't see them coming but sometimes I was so frustrated because it was like reading an Mission Impossible script. 
But I finished the book so 3⭐.
