About this listen

Reclusive, mysterious author Ginevra Ex is famous for her unusual approach to crafting her big bestselling thrillers – she hires real people and conducts intensive interviews, then fictionalises them. Her latest main character, Rory, is thrilled when Ginevra presents her with an extravagant bonus – a lavish trip along Italy's Mediterranean coast on the famed, newly renovated Orient Express. But when Rory boards the train, she's stunned to discover that her brother, her best friend and even her ex-fiancé are passengers, as well. All invited by Ginevra, all hiding secrets.

With each stop, from Cinque Terre to Rome to Positano, it becomes increasingly clear that Ginevra has masterminded the ultimate real life twisty plot with Rory as her main character. And as Ginevra's deceptions mount, and the lies and machinations of Rory's travel companions pile up, Rory begins to fear that her trip will culminate like one of Ginevra's books – with a murder or two. In the opulent compartments of the iconic train, Rory must untangle the shocking reasons why Ginevra wanted them all aboard – and to what deadly end.

Critic reviews

'The Main Character is full steam ahead when it comes to betrayals and secrets, all wrapped up in a deliciously claustrophobic ride that you'll never forget.' (Finley Turner, author of The Engagement Party)

'Suspenseful, stylish and seductive – what you'd expect from Jaclyn Goldis – but with something deeper at its core: a love letter to family. The Main Character is a runaway train that will leave you mesmerized. All aboard!' (Alex Finlay, author of If Something Happens to Me)
