Mixed reviews. Interesting premise — but not at all realistic. Dumb, in fact.

I got through it despite not being able to root for any of the characters.

6:40 to Montreal is a thriller novel by Eva Jurczyk.

Agatha, an author who wrote a fluke best seller, is struggling with writer’s block.

She’s gifted a first-class train ticket by her husband, hoping it will give her 6 hours of focused writing to come up with an idea for her next book.

We learn that Agatha has been diagnosed with terminal cancer — and can’t get motivated by anything. In fact, her trip to Montreal is also a booty call. She’s trying to feel alive.

The journey is derailed when the train breaks down in the frozen Canadian woods. Tensions rise when a fellow passenger is found dead in their seat, turning the quiet cabin into a claustrophobic fight for survival.

Read a bad review.
