“Birdie Barrington is such a wonderful and fascinating character. Loved her life, her clothes, her ingenious way of manipulating everyone. Truly one of fiction’s great characters.”

“I love the entire setting of the early 1950s when train travel was the norm and there was the opportunity to meet strangers on a train and interact with them. Such a great throwback mystery!”
