Review
Just perfect.
It's taken me a long time to get around to reading this book but I am so very glad I did. It was just delightful.
The book begins in the past and I settled right into it. Despite having quite a large group of characters who all end up on the train, each of the backstories was so well written and interesting. I loved all the characters. It never felt tedious when the book flip flopped between the present day and the past.
Once the train departed we had a fairly good idea of why everyone was on the train but there were still some surprises in store.
I'm giving this book 5 out of 5 stars.
