Both stories were quick and entertaining, a good way to wait for the next instalment in the series.

I was happy to read about Roma and Juliette after Shanghai. I missed them and the ending made me hopeful for a small appearance in the next book.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Benedikt and Marshall’s story, but I definitely didn’t see the Murder on the Orient Express vibe coming. It was nice to read about them being happy together in those little stolen moments while trying to solve the crime.

Both stories fit well into the main plot line, to the point that I wonder if someone who doesn’t read the short stories will understand everything in the last book. I’m looking forward to it even more now that everything is falling into place.
