WITH A VENGEANCE by Riley Sager takes place on a single train ride with no stops. Anna Matheson's wants revenge for her family. She coaxes the people who betrayed her family onto a luxury train heading to Chicago. Solely to confront them, get them to confess, and then hand them over to the authorities upon arrival. But her plan collapses when a passenger is murdered. As the train speeds on, it becomes clear someone else has their own agenda and wants them all dead. Anna must find the killer and protect those she despises, risking her life to bring them to justice the right way.
Verdict:
Fun locked-room mystery, classic whodunit. You really rally behind Anna, wanting her to get the justice she is after. Suspenseful and twisty, I did not see the ending coming. This was a title I judged by the cover, and I was not disappointed. (8/10)

Description:
One train. No stops. A deadly game of survival and revenge.
In 1942, six people destroyed Anna Matheson’s family. Twelve years later, she’s ready for retribution.
Under false pretenses, Anna has lured those responsible for her family’s downfall onto a luxury train from Philadelphia to Chicago, an overnight journey of thirteen hours. Her goal? Confront the people who’ve wronged her, get them to confess their crimes, and deliver them into the hands of authorities waiting at the end of the line. Justice will at last be served.
But Anna’s plan is quickly derailed by the murder of one of the passengers. As the train barrels through the night, it becomes clear that someone else on board is enacting their own form of revenge—and that they won’t stop until everyone else is dead.
With time running out before the train reaches its destination, Anna is forced to hunt the killer in their midst while protecting the people she hates the most. In order to destroy her enemies, she must first save them—even though it means putting her own life at risk.
