The Woman on the Orient Express

I have always been a huge fan of Agatha Christie and always wondered about her famous disappearance that has never been fully explained or resolved to this day. Lindsay Jayne Ashford has taken on this question in a fictionalized account that is both interesting and entertaining. Agatha Christie is at a crossroad in her life. Her marriage is over and she needs a fresh start; not to mention a break from everything to find herself again. She decides to take a trip on the Orient Express but little does she know that she is not the only woman with secrets on the train. I enjoyed Agatha Christie's character so much. She was so complex and I could understand her frame of mind and the reasons why she did what she did. I found the other main characters not quite as developed but that was fine as Agatha is the main character in the story and they seemed to be more in a supporting role to the main story. All in all, I found myself immersed in the book and really liked how the ending came together. I received a copy of this book from the publishers (via Netgalley) for free in exchange for a honest review.
