This novel was certainly entertaining, and offered a keen hypothesis as an explanation for Agatha Christie’s disappearance after learning of her husband’s extramarital affair. It offered insight into her disillusionment after the terrible shock. The characters grew on me, and it was enjoyable to consider a mystery writer’s escapade aboard the very train that made her famous.
Ashford wasted no time in introducing the characters, some of which were fictitious, most of which were not. The cast was certainly colorful, and the setting was lovely. Not only was the storyline interesting (albeit predictable); I could also tell that the author did her research. All in all, the plot moved along as quickly as the Orient Express, itself.
