Eccentric writer Ginerva Ex has an unorthodox method for creating her bestselling books: She conducts intensive interviews with real people (and their friends and family), then fictionalizes them in a suspense novel. When she finishes interviewing her latest main character, Rory, Ginerva surprises her with a luxury trip across Italy aboard the Orient Express. Rory is stunned to discover that Ginerva has also invited Rory's best friend, brother, and (most shockingly) her ex-fiancé on the vacation. As secrets snake to the surface, tensions intensify and Rory fears Ginerva's gift may end in murder. It's a seductive and twisty thriller from start to finish.
