Many thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Eva Jurczyk. Al opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Agatha needs to get some serious work done on her new book. To help her, her husband bought her quiet time to concentrate: a train ticket for a six-hour ride from Toronto to Montreal. The time aboard sets the stage for a perfect writing retreat, with only a handful of other passengers, plenty of snacks and drinks, and beautiful views. But Agatha has other plans for her day out… plans that are unexpectedly derailed when the train breaks down in the middle of the frigid Canadian woods, and one of Agatha's fellow passengers dies quietly in his seat. Soon, a pleasant morning in transit turns into a fight for survival against an unknown and unseen enemy. Will Agatha, or any of the passengers, make it out alive?
If you are an Agatha Christie fan or a fan of locked-room mysteries in general (especially those on a train!), you'll enjoy this book. Playing out in a day, this trip goes off the rails quickly and becomes every man (or woman) for himself. Sure, maybe you have to disband reality just a bit, but I thought this story was wonderfully written, with tense, twisty moments and reveals I didn't see coming. I enjoyed Jurczyk's last book, That Night in the Library, and this one has me looking forward to her next!
