One train. No stops. A deadly game of survival and revenge.

In 1942, six people destroyed Anna Matheson’s family. Twelve years later, she’s ready for retribution.

Under false pretenses, Anna has lured those responsible for her family’s downfall onto a luxury train from Philadelphia to Chicago, an overnight journey of thirteen hours. Her goal? Confront the people who’ve wronged her, get them to confess their crimes, and deliver them into the hands of authorities waiting at the end of the line. Justice will at last be served.

But Anna’s plan is quickly derailed by the murder of one of the passengers. As the train barrels through the night, it becomes clear that someone else on board is enacting their own form of revenge—and that they won’t stop until everyone else is dead.

With time running out before the train reaches its destination, Anna is forced to hunt the killer in their midst while protecting the people she hates the most. In order to destroy her enemies, she must first save them—even though it means putting her own life at risk.

I’m starting to get the hang of the way Riley Sager writes his books. He does really well in keeping your interest and trying to figure out the mystery before it’s revealed. For this book in particular it was actually pretty predictable and I had figured out who it was each time, but keeping the smaller plot twists helps with making you doubt yourself throughout the whole thing. The endings always seem a bit less thought through than the rest of the book.

I do think this is the book to read if you are in need of something fast and easy to get through!

i enjoyed it but this could have been better

this was fun! I actually guessed every single major twist in the book, so I would say maybe a bit predictable, but I still had fun reading it!

I love Riley’s writing every time. However obviously the ending for this one was a little predictable, but the journey there was an absolute train ride!

I thought this would be bad -- nay, I knew this would be bad. But I was on a train, it's set on a train, whatever. I sped read 60 percent of it and still give up, after finally thinking "man it would be nice to not know how to read" around page 200. Did I set up an account for an app called "grow" so I could read a woman's in depth blog review with spoilers? Yes but somehow I'm more confused than if I'd never read the spoilers at all. Throw it in the garbage.

I was really excited for this book. Unfortunately it didn’t really live up to the excitement. I think the premise of this could have been really good but it just felt drawn out and by the time I finished I was left with a “thank god that’s done” feeling. I think without two of the twists this could’ve been really good

Very underwhelmed and mildly irritated at how many unnecessary plot lines there were. I feel like a lot of the “twists, turns, and reveals” were just for sheer shock and didn’t actually serve the story at all. Lastly, the very end just pissed me off because it was SO unrealistic in a novel that is supposed to be based in realism. Sager is such a hit or miss author for me and this one was a huge miss.
