The Main Character by Jaclyn Goldis
4.5
challenging informative mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Amalfi coast, literal Orient Express, a writer with a secret who bases her books on the stories of real people who agree to be her main character, some solid twists, pretty fully realized characters — I enjoyed this mystery thoroughly and it would be the perfect summer read for anyone who enjoys a classic-style mystery with an atmospheric setting (c’est moi!)
