3.0

Fast-paced and intricate, more complicated than I hoped. A writers’ conference convenes on a train crossing Australia. Each writer has secrets, all have introduced treachery and false identities. The main character, Ernest Cunningham, is a talker, an author who made his name after writing a book about the true crime trauma he was himself involved in.
