1.0

Why is this book so popular? I found it ridiculous. The plot was unnecessarily convoluted with too many red herrings and horrible people as characters. I wanted to read this before the first book in the series because this one was due back to the library tomorrow, but I’ll be returning the first book too, because I have no desire to read it after having read this one. Ghastly! (Admittedly, this will only make sense after you read the book.)

3.0

Fast-paced and intricate, more complicated than I hoped. A writers’ conference convenes on a train crossing Australia. Each writer has secrets, all have introduced treachery and false identities. The main character, Ernest Cunningham, is a talker, an author who made his name after writing a book about the true crime trauma he was himself involved in.
