If you are someone who enjoys historical Fiction and mystery novels then my good friend this is the book for you. Not only does it have that it has a bevy of authors appearing such as Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers, George Orwell, and so on. You've heard of the phrase a play within a play this a pretty much a book within a book!
Our setting takes place in the 1920's and both Dorothy and Agatha are on a train to Constantinople.They are joined by otheer authors on the train as well. However, despite the amazing company things take a turn for the worse when one of the authors is found dead! Worse Dorothy is found to be a suspect because the author had some leverage against her.
However, Dorothy's assistant Eliza jumps in to solve the case. Once Eliza figures out Dorothy is in the clear. However another murder takes place and the next suspect is nowhere to be found. Eliza will then have to go on a great journey to find this person before somebody else does.
I will admit this was very interesting from the start. I have never read the mentioned authors but after reading this I think I will check them out.
I received an arc copy from Netgalley and all opinions are of my own
