Summary

Carrie's best friend has an accident and can no longer make the round-the-world trip they'd planned together, so Carrie decides to go it alone. 

Violet is also travelling alone, after splitting up with her boyfriend in Thailand. She is desperate for a ticket on the Trans-Siberian Express, but there is nothing available. 

When the two women meet in a Beijing Hotel, Carrie makes the impulsive decision to invite Violet to take her best friend's place. Thrown together in a strange country, and the cramped cabin of the train, the women soon form a bond. But as the journey continues, through Mongolia and into Russia, things start to unravel - because one of these women is not who she claims to be....

Keeps you listening right to the end!

So pleased I decided to try a new author - I really enjoyed this book. The author weaves the mystery through different cities and its always nice to learn something new about other cultures. Narrator (Imogen Church) really did an excellent job. My only complaint, her pauses were a little long, but I just listened on 1.25 and it was perfect for me. Would definitely recommend.

Intrigued to the end...

Intrigued to the end, however! I got a bit angry at parts because some of the decisions These girls make are so stupid I felt like screaming.
And I felt like the only likeable person in the whole book was Martin. But it was worth a go. Performed very well by narrator and does make you wanna go travelling regardless of the nightmare situations they get themselves in.
