This is a funny thriller book that it seems to be happening in a theatre, because everything happening is on the same train.

I can't talk much about this book without spoiling, but, omg, the characters are amazing and the plot twist too.

Highly recommend.

All in all a really enjoyable book, dark in places and funny in others. 

Definitely keep in mind that this doesn't end like the film does but is just as good (if not better!)

Being a book about Assassin's, expect related topics to that to happen in the book -especially as there's 5 of them stuck on a train
