Description
No WiFi, no distractions. No way out…
Agatha's husband has bought her a first-class ticket on the scenic six-hour train from Toronto to Montreal as a gift—a one-day writing retreat so she can get some serious work done on her new book, a highly-anticipated follow-up to Agatha's runaway bestseller debut novel. The first-class car is the perfect place to be productive, with only a handful of other passengers, plenty of snacks and drinks, and beautiful views flying by outside the window.
But Agatha has other plans for her day out… plans that are unexpectedly derailed when the train breaks down in the middle of the frigid Canadian woods and one of Agatha's fellow passengers dies quietly in his seat. Soon, a pleasant morning in transit turns into a fight for survival against an unknown and unseen enemy. Will Agatha—or any of the passengers—make it out alive?
From international bestselling author Eva Jurczyk, 6:40 to Montreal is a claustrophobic, deceivingly bloody thriller that twists and turns until the very last page.

This is a crackerjack, Christie worthy mystery. In the business class car of the 6:40 train to Montreal a man is dead. Who killed him? It would simply be a matter of calling the police but the train is snowbound in an area with no cell service. The safety locks have trapped the passengers and crew in the car. Will they work together or turn on each other? Mystery writer Agatha (yes!) has taken this trip as a writer's retreat day in hopes of curing her writer's block. Looks like she may overcome the writer's block if she doesn't end up dead.

A new twist on the classic, train-based, locked room mystery with death stalking the first class passengers of a snowbound train stuck between stations is a desolate rural area.
Kashif H, Reviewer
A grounded and personal whodunnit with a very chaotic but engaging turn of events that leaves your inner sleuth satisfied.

This is going to be a bestseller, and I sure hope it becomes a movie. I was hooked from the start trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I could feel the emotions of Agatha, the main character, and could vividly picture what was happening as the book went on. Agatha's fears and intrusive thoughts were all so real. A thriller of a book that takes place on a train, but not like anything you've read before!

6:40 to Montreal is a beautifully crafted mystery with atmospheric tension and characters you can’t help but root for. The journey from start to finish is full of suspense, and the final twist is satisfying and unexpected. A gripping read for those who love a good psychological thriller.
Erik M, Reviewer
A perfect closed-room mystery with the characters stuck on a train in a snowstorm. All of the characters were multifaceted, complex and every scene held your breath as you watched the events unfold. The ending will blow you away. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
