A review by livrad
The Christmas Train by David Baldacci

2.0

This was as if Murder on the Orient Express was magicked into an over-constructed dime store Hallmark movie of a book (and there literally is a Hallmark movie of it). Throughout it, there were so many info dumps, that it read as if David Baldacci really wanted to write a history of Amtrak but lost a bet and had to write a Christmas book instead. It is unfortunate, because those bits about train history are actually the best parts, and I wished I had been reading that book instead.
