The Christmas Train

Such a comedy. Every chapter made me laugh. Light train robbery mystery, plot twists are friendly, romance easy on the reader, heavy on the comedy and christmas spirit!
Recommend it for anyone in search of a warm read, and for travels

This was a sweet little Christmassy book that hit the spot, but it ended way too fast. I felt like the author wanted it to be over so rushed the last 1/4 of the story :/
3.5

I listened to the audiobook version of this through Overdrive/my local library. It was a good story and will get you in a Christmasy mood. It is set in the present, but the train travel gives it a nostalgic feel (something recognized directly in the writing, that there's just something nostalgic about train travel). There's romance, drama, and some humor. I'd call it a relaxing book that's great to read (or listen to) around the holidays. There was a twist at the very end that I didn't care for (minus 1 star from my rating). It made a portion of the events orchestrated by a particular character when I would've preferred things were just coincidental. I think it is meant to show the orchestrator cared, but it left me feeling a little cheated. Others may find it makes it more realistic. All in all, it was a good listen around the holidays and I'd recommend it.
