La ragazza dell'Orient Express

The train's historical mystique adds so much atmosphere — I'm curious what drew Lindsay Jayne Ashford to this setting and how she researched it.

The characters' pasts felt so layered and personal — I kept wondering how much of their stories were inspired by real events or purely fictional.

The narrative shifts kept me guessing but also made me think about the choices behind structuring the story this way. Was this planned from the start?
