This novella appears to be a sweet tale of a murder (or two) on a train ride.  After receiving this book as part of my VIP bag at the now Orlando Book Fest (was Indies Book Fest) I put it on my reading stack and gave it little thought.  However, on a recent between book phase, when I just wanted something quick I picked it up.  I’m sorry I waited this long to read it as I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The author quickly and easily transports you to a simpler time and place.  The characters on the surface appear to be your average people in an interesting situation.  Appearances can be deceiving.

SPOILER – there is a dark twist that I never saw coming, and the real situation is revealed in the last chapter that gives the entire novella an entirely different feel.  Well done to the author!

I look forward to reading more from this author!  CLICK HERE for her website and book information.
