The Main Character: A Novel by Jaclyn Goldis

3.0

---

I enjoyed this! I really loved all the lush descriptions of the food, the scenery etc on the train and in Italy. I thought it would be a murder mystery and well, there were some mysteries going on, and someone did end up dead, but I wouldn’t strictly call it that. At first the whole family connection felt kiiind of contrived to me, but how it played out was interesting to me. I didn’t expect the historical aspect of it, but I liked that as well. I also didn’t guess who the bad guy(s) turned out to be but it ended up being very fitting and sad.

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the digital ARC.
