Publisher's Summary

Carrie's best friend has an accident and can no longer make the round-the-world trip they'd planned together, so Carrie decides to go it alone.

Violet is also travelling alone, after splitting up with her boyfriend in Thailand. She is desperate for a ticket on the Trans-Siberian Express, but there is nothing available.

When the two women meet in a Beijing Hotel, Carrie makes the impulsive decision to invite Violet to take her best friend's place. Thrown together in a strange country, and the cramped cabin of the train, the women soon form a bond. But as the journey continues, through Mongolia and into Russia, things start to unravel - because one of these women is not who she claims to be....

Creepy girls

Two British “valley girls meet up on the road, travelling by train through Mongolia and Russia. First they’re just annoying, drinking and taking drugs and exclaiming “mental!!!” But then things get sinister and right to the end you don’t really know which is the REALLY bad one.

Disturbing, absorbing, well played

I couldn't stop listening lol
Mostly hard to relate to a true psychopath, except holding on to bitterness. certainly makes me think of perhaps letting things go... The narrator was amazing! I love her range and accents and expression of emotions

Disappointing

This book grabbed my attention right away, but after a few chapters it lost my attention. I didn’t even make it halfway through. There is no real plot to follow and, while it was obvious that they were bad people, we just followed them around through various events/situations. Boring with nothing substantial to follow in the story. The narrator was great though.
