I enjoyed this more than Middle of the Night. A 50s-set revenge story on a 13 hour train ride? So Agatha Christie!

I wish there had been more language to remind me it was in the 50s, as a lot of the time it just felt very modern. I did enjoy the murder mystery aspect and figuring out who the killer is, though.

Emotional and satisfying, overall a great popcorn thriller.
