Synopsis

No WiFi, no distractions. No way out …Agatha's husband has bought her a first-class ticket on the scenic six-hour train from Toronto to Montreal as a gift—a one-day writing retreat so she can get some serious work done on her new book, a highly anticipated follow-up to Agatha's runaway bestseller debut novel. The first-class car is the perfect place to be productive, with only a handful of other passengers, plenty of snacks and drinks, and beautiful views flying by outside the window.But Agatha has other plans for her day out … plans that are unexpectedly derailed when the train breaks down in the middle of the frigid Canadian woods and one of Agatha's fellow passengers dies quietly in his seat. Soon, a pleasant morning in transit turns into a fight for survival against an unknown and unseen enemy. Will Agatha—or any of the passengers—make it out alive?From international bestselling author Eva Jurczyk, 6:40 to Montreal is a claustrophobic, deceivingly bloody thriller that twists and turns until the very last page. "An intense, claustrophobic nod to the Christie classic Murder on the Orient Express."—Library Journal

Such a fun read! A wife/mother/author boards a train (a gift from her husband), she has a mysterious plan in motion and you can’t help but wonder the whole time what exactly her plan is. When a snow storm brings them to abrupt stop in the middle of nowhere the passengers soon learn this is the least......more

Having enjoyed Eva Jurczyk’s first novel, The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections with all of its quirkiness and unusual twists and turns, I was glad to receive her latest book, 6:40 to Montreal.

Goodreads review by KellyJ1028 on February 23, 2025

Although I loved the premise of this book and the beautiful cover, 6:40 to Montreal just wasn't for me. I had really high hopes for this one but it was too long, and the ending was way out there. 2.5 stars Our MC is Agatha, a writer trying to get some work done on her new book on a train from Toronto......more

Goodreads review by Brooks on March 16, 2025

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. A business class train trip to Montreal goes horribly wrong in Eva Jurczyk’s “6:40 to Montreal” - a claustrophobic page turner that was equal parts unpredictable and unsettling. The story follows Agatha, a surprise-hit author who is k......more
