Pickpick

I liked the mysteries/ reasons for the murders and I loved the setting- on a luxury train through the middle of Australia. But I've already grown tired of the breaking of the 4th wall and the conceit that narrator is talking us through their writing process as the book progresses. Mostly a pick but I'm going to try to avoid this type of plot for a while.

Well worn chestnut that needs to be retired. Not a lot of nuance in assuming popular automatically equals dreck.

This book is so not what the cover implies! Loved it, but not a fan of the open-ended ending!

Karisimo Just noticed the tagged book lists the wrong first name of the author 🤦🏻‍♀️ 24h
Eggs Great choice 👏🏻👏🏻 23h

I read this oh so long ago…

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I love how people still kind of think it‘s a true story or at least based on one. Did you ever read the final chapter that “solves” the mystery? I‘m glad it didn‘t make the final cut tbh, I don‘t think it would have achieved that same level of cultural significance with it. 1d
kspenmoll @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I never did read that final chapter. I agree with you- this book & its mystery is better left to the imagination of the reader! 24h
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @kspenmoll, can‘t say I recommend it. The 1975 Peter Weir movie is pretty good too - I think it‘s been adapted more recently but I haven‘t seen it. 24h
Eggs Perfection🫶🏻 23h
