Rory has agreed to be the newest main character in author Geneva Ex’s book, an author who interviews real people and puts them in her stories. As a reward, Ginerva has sent Rory on a trip on the Orient Express, as well as some people from her life Rory did not expect to see. With secrets spilled and tension rising, Rory senses something is about to happen, though she doesn’t yet know what.
This was a good book, but not, for me, great. The characters are distinctive and each have a deeply personal stake in what is going on. There is an overarching mystery that is very intriguing. The descriptions of Italy are beautiful as well.
Where the book falls apart to me is the ending. Things seem to come out of left field, and characters suddenly seem wildly out of character. It’s a great premise, and the writing style is very good, but the plot just doesn’t work for me in the end.
Well said
