That's the good stuff right there. I think I remember
having a similar experience with the first book in
this series, that I was enjoying myself riding along
with the attempted mystery solving, then got a bit
iffy in the reveal, as there were certain things I'd
already guessed, and then other things I hadn't had
a clue about that were just barely believable, and
then it was how the book actually ended that
settled it for me, 1/?
Reading this weird book, weird as nothing seems to happen but I am intrigued enough to keep reading. Chapter 14 and the first murder is discovered. Have not read Everyone In My Family Has Murdered Someone but may have to if I can just get through this book.
A novel with deep character development. I cared about each unique character as they were developed by the author. Their separate struggles in processing a single traumatic life event. A read that leaves you cheering for everyone. Also interesting setting of urban Australia. I love traveling a bit in a good read!
I liked the mysteries/ reasons for the murders and I loved the setting- on a luxury train through the middle of Australia. But I've already grown tired of the breaking of the 4th wall and the conceit that narrator is talking us through their writing process as the book progresses. Mostly a pick but I'm going to try to avoid this type of plot for a while.
Well worn chestnut that needs to be retired. Not a lot of nuance in assuming popular automatically equals dreck.

This book is so not what the cover implies! Loved it, but not a fan of the open-ended ending!
