Welcome to Litsy!

This is told in 2 timelines, now & 1970's Italy/Russia. I didn't care anything about any of the current characters. They bored me even with all their secrets coming to light. The historical timeline (having a hard time thinking of the 70s as historical 😆) ended up being far more interesting to me. And heartbreaking. Also this was set on the Orient Express but there wasn't a sense of place for the train. They could have been staying in hotels ⬇️

Agatha Christie-esque story.

Writer Ginevra Ex presents her latest Main Character (person she based her next murder mystery on) Rory with a trip on the Orient Express. Rory is over the moon, but gets suspicious when she meets her brother, ex-bestie, and former fiancé in the dining car. Is this going to be a real life recreation of Christie's novel?

The first half dragged, not entirely but definitely partly due to the 5 different POV, ⬇️

Any thoughts about these? They all sound like juicy reads for summer. @Jerdencon @TheAromaofBooks @robinb

Ginerva X, is famous for her unique approach to writing, she conducts in-depth interviews with real people and then fictionalizes them. Her latest main character is Rory, an unemployed news anchor. To celebrate the release of Ginerva‘s novel, Rory is rewarded with a luxury train trip through Italy. Of course secrets are revealed. I struggled to get into this one. All the characters are unlikeable. Thanks to NetGalley & Atria for the ARC.

A trip of the lifetime.

That is what Ginevra Ex wanted for Rory, Caroline, Nate, and Max.

She wanted them to experience a train trip through Italy and to bond with each other.

An interesting premise and beautiful writing, but I was lost most of the time. It was confusing and had too many characters to keep track of.

This is an Agatha Christie style murder mystery on a train. And it's fantastic. I liked her other book (The Chateau) but imo this was better.
