THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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.

Critic reviews

“Sager knows how to tell a good story that keeps us guessing.”–Washington Post

"[A] gripping locked room thriller."–People

“At the top of his game. Sager delivers a thriller so tautly written, so tightly constructed, that readers will emerge from the book breathless and in a mild state of shock. With this book, Sager has committed an act of brilliance.”–Booklist

Riley Sager is the Queen! This story was like a rollercoaster in a maze, twists and turns that will give you whiplash………..and I loved every minute of it. This kept me guessing up till the end on so many things. I would be 100% behind this becoming a series of books in the future.

I've read multiple Riley Sager books and was surprised when the start of this novel mimicked Agatha Christie. I personally love the who done its but was unsure how it would play out and if it'd recommended this book. The plot, setting, and characters were entertaining. I was always second guessing the killer with all the twist and turns. Another great book!

Who done it- Riley did it!

Riley Sager is one of my favorite authors, that being said this book did not deliver in the way I hoped it would. This is more so a personal preference but I really didn’t care for the narrator. With it taking place in the 50s the way her voice sounded, especially for the men, was just too modern… if that makes sense. It was also the way it was written though. I was kind of disappointed, this is the first book of his that I really didn’t love all that much. Maybe I would have enjoyed it better had I physically read it rather than listened to it.

Not my favorite Riley Sager book

Started out strong but the end was unrealistic - started to get a bit confusing and far fetched in my opinion.

Started out great didn’t like the ending.

Let me preface this review by saying this book will not be for everyone, its niche, it’s over the top and it’s mischievous. I loved every second of it. The audio performance was top notch and I loved our FMC. The third person POV was a delightful change of pace and added a level of dramatics that feeds my soul. I loved this book.

Trains, drama, the 50s? Yes please

I like that it did not take place in modern times and had an Agatha Christie flair.

The lack of technology was refreshing
