This was such a different vibe than the rest of Sager's books, and not in a way that I enjoyed. The story was reminiscent of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express in the sense that the characters are trapped on a fancy train and people are getting murdered. I was a bit bored throughout the entire novel and Sager's signature twists at the ending didn't really make up for it. 

Also what do you meant that the murder was 3 different people, thats so lame. The way it wrapped up didn't make sense (why is Anne protecting everyone from getting murdered just to make them go to prison? If anything just be a bystander). Also, I totally called that some people didn't actually die bc that happens on Murder on the Orient)

This was very mediocre. Fine, but flat writing and nothing particularly special or interesting.
