Interesting mystery - about innocence & the losing of it, about power & the dangers of it, despair & the lifting of it.

Hubris and its consequences. Dorothy Hughes’ “Dread Journey” was first published in 1945 and is now being issued as part of the American Mysteries Classics series. The novel is cinematic in its treatment of the train voyage of a group of movie people, traveling from California to Chicago. Their intertwined histories lead to expected and unexpected deaths. An enjoyable if somewhat melodramatic tale!
