it was good
but the whole meta spiel made it slightly unbearable at times.
It was interesting enough to read tho.

My first read from Stevenson, but not my last. I realized I read the sequel first, but given there are no spoilers in this novel, I have the first novel in my possession now, and I can’t wait to read it.
The other reviewers mention that there are a lot of characters in this book. And that’s true. However, it keeps the storyline fresh, and kept me engaged. I was very surprised when I learned who the actual killer was.
Also, a train is a relatively unique venue for a murder. And it’s set in Australia, which is a nice change from all the US-based mystery novels that I read.
I recommend this book and look forward to the authors future contributions!
