This is marketed as an adult novel and as a teenage girl I was slightly worried about whether some characters would be too-old for me and therefore hard for me to connect to, but that wasn't a problem. The five main romances spanned many generations, from a young couple in their 20s meeting onboard the train to an older woman reminiscing about a man she loved when she was younger. There were even some teenage characters included so I had no problem connecting at all. What I really liked about this novel was that everyone was different - no two couples acted the same way and I really appreciated that. Overall, it was a good ensemble.

One of the criminal mysteries solved by Randall Garrett's Alternative History detective Lord Darcy takes place on a luxurious cross-Europe train manifestly modeled on the Orient Express, though in this Alterative History setting its final destination is Naples rather than Istanbul. I suppose the thing that irritates me, as it did with the last book, is that Veronica Henry seems to be obsessed with label, and material things. All of her characters are wealthy, upper class people (with the exception of just one) and seem to be able to throw money at everything. Staying on in Venice for a few more days, on a whim, is no problem.

Even though the huge surprise at the end is figured out very early, I loved the journey getting to the end of the book. It was beautiful, mysterious, heartfelt, and so satisfying to "Be There" as Freya and Erich grew to know and care about each other. The words written in this story are like strands of musical notes themselves, when Erich says to Freya, "Playing with you, hearing your music, watching your heart shine out your eyes. I know all I could ever need to know to convince me I want you always in my life." now that is truly sigh-worthy. Lambert, Anthony (21 January 2013). "The Orient-Express: Great Train Journeys".
