First of all thank you for approving my request!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The authors writing style had me hooked throughout this book.

I didn't want it to end, a book I really couldn't put down.

While I really liked the concept of this book, I struggled to get into it. I pushed through, but the plot felt overly complicated and confusing at times.

I love this author’s writing style. They effortlessly exhale coziness, even when their stories carry a lot of mystery. There’s just something warm and inviting about the way they write.

That said, this one didn’t land quite as well for me as their previous work has. It was incredibly silly, but in a genuinely delightful way - wild, implausible and still somehow enjoyable. The heavy inspiration from Murder on the Orient Express was noticeable and, at times, a bit much, but in the end, it kind of just... worked.

There were moments where the plot lost me and felt a bit overwhelming, but overall, it was still a fun and cozy mystery read.

Agatha, oops I mean Sulari has done it again. This orient express ride has all the makings of a classic whodonit. The original locked door mystery is brought back to life. The characters and settings help bring the reader back to the original feel but with a modern twist. Quarantine, murder, train ride. This novel was fabulous!!!

A murder on the Orient Express! Not exactly an original idea, but this is not a predictable story. It has the feel of a classic murder mystery, with some fresh characters and dialogue.
Meredith and her brother Joe are travelling the Orient Express with a cast of quirky characters. A lot of them have a very strong interest in crime and crime-solving. Perhaps a suspicious number of them. It takes a while to find the first body, but as you may have guessed by the title, there are many more to come. I did guess most of the plot twists, but I still had fun getting there.

Absolutely loved the premise and book. It is a homage to Agatha Christie while also being a story in itself.

It has a set of interesting characters and a locked room mystery. I liked the author sister combo. The book kept me guessing and the Orient Express touch was a favourite. An amazing read for all fans of Christie and thrillers.

Thank you Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for this e-arc in exchange of my unbiased review.

Debut crime fiction writer Joe Penvale and his sister Meredith are celebrating his hard-fought recover from cancer by boarding the fascinating Orient Express in Paris. Besides riding in a literary legend, they both want to know if Joe will write again. They are quickly swept into an unfathomable mystery with detectives and former French police officers and a blood-filled room. Is the mysterious passenger dead or has he disappeared?
An absolutely great ride! Wonderful characters, complex mystery, an homage to Christie and other great mystery writers. You do not want to miss this!

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this DRC.

I loved the chaotic natures of the characters. The impact of the overlapping storylines and the setting of the train were all well done. Even some of the twists I might have predicted played out vastly differently than expected, so it kept me on the edge of my seat. To that end, it took me a while to really get into it with the need to set up so many moving parts. Additionally, details pertaining to the pandemic and the fear surrounding it, while useful in the story, really pulled me out of this crazy world of chaos.

Great mystery book!

It took me a while to get through but that's mainly because I had exams. But once I was hooked, I was hooked!
I really like the authors style of writing and will be looking forward to more.

Two siblings, Joe and Meredith, take a trip on the Orient Express. Joe is an author and just beat cancer. Meredith put everything in her life on the back burner and took care of Joe during his treatment. This trip on the Orient Express is to celebrate Joe beating cancer, hopefully to get Joe inspired to write again, and for some relaxation for the both of them! Little did they both know that they would be helping to find a killer on board and a missing man!

I was going in-between a 3 or 4 star rating for awhile. I decided with 4 stars because this book literally had me on my toes. It was like you didn't know what was going to happen next. There were some areas where it got kind of boring, but there was always something that happened that reeled me back in during the chapters! I wasn't sure if I was going to like it during the first few chapters, but I ended up really enjoying it!

If you love a locked room mystery with a nod to Agatha Christie then this book is for you!

Joe and Meredith (bother and sister) embark on a trip of a lifetime ,The Orient Express, with a journey from Paris to Venice.

Joe is a writer and recovering from cancer, Meredith put her life on hold to care for him. But they are now on the famous and luxurious Orient Express and Joe is ready to write again.

The trip starts out like a dream - the train with its vintage carriages and meeting intriguing characters. But it quickly turns into a nightmare when the bodies start to pile up.

Gentill is a master at storytelling. She has in me, a reader for life!

Well written murder mystery placed on the Orient Express.
It got a little confusing trying to keep track of all the characters. The brother sister duo is a win for me.

The twist I did not see coming and that’s something I really enjoyed.

Overall it’s a great read and I do recommend.

This book was different than other thrillers I’ve read. I loved the development of the characters as people first opposed to thriller plot devices firstly. I love how the book ended and I didn’t mind the podcast element! Super fun!

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest feedback.

This story, which takes place on the Orient Express, could easily be derivative. Gentill, however, uses what we know of the Christie story and builds upon it. She writes another mystery taking place on this most famous of trains.

Crime author Joe and his sister Meri are passengers aboard the train when murders begin to happen. A task force is created to solve the crimes as they are happening.

The character development is good, and I appreciated the storyline. This is a simple locked room mystery that could easily have been written in the time of Agatha Christie and her Hercule Poirot.

While I am usually fans of murder mysteries like this, it just didn't hit like I thought it would and honestly felt like it was dragging. I gave it until 50% before I skipped to the end to see who had committed the murder, although I enjoyed the ideas I couldn't get into the story itself

Dark, mysterious, suspenseful . I had so much fun with this one. I’ve actually never read a thriller set in a train and I enjoyed it so much!

I have read the authors previous books and loved them.

This is a whodunnit on a train. If you are a fan of Agatha Christie you will probably enjoy this one.

I had a hard time getting into it because of lack of character development and a large cast of characters.

This was a fun and interesting read. The plot moved at a good pace and the main characters were likable enough that I started rooting for them. I am glad that I had read “Murder on the Orient Express” by Agatha Christy before I read this book. While I don’t think it is a requirement, I appreciated it more because I understood the references made to that story and characters.

I enjoyed this read.

This book reminded me of Everyone on this Train is a Suspect and Murder on the orient Express.

This book was intriguing and very well written. The characters were a great mix and at times could be overwhelming but it was enjoyable non the less.

Thank you NetGalley!

I had trouble reading the style of prose and the premise and characters did not grip me. Unfortunately this one was not for me.
