'Baldacci is the master' - Jeffery Archer In equal parts hilarious, poignant, suspenseful and thrilling, The Christmas Train is a delightful journey filled with memorable characters who have packed their bags with as much wisdom as mischief . . . Disillusioned journalist Tom Langdon must get from Washington to LA in time for Christmas. Forced to take the train across the country because of a slight 'misunderstanding' at airport security, he begins a journey of self-discovery and rude awakenings, mysterious goings-on and thrilling adventures, screwball escapades and holiday magic. He has no idea that the locomotives pulling him across America will actually take him into the rugged terrain of his own heart, where he will rediscover people's essential goodness and someone very special he believed he had lost. The Christmas Train, a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, starred Dermot Mulroney, Danny Glover, Joan Cusack and Kimberly Williams-Paisley. *********** KILLER TWISTS. HEROES TO BELIEVE IN. TRUST BALDACCI.

Enjoyed the story - easy reading. Surprise ending. Had somewhat similar experience with train trip long delay but not as exciting. Good respite from usual Baldacci books.

Story line mildly entertaining due to the train lore but the engineer not thinking to move the train back into the tunnel seemed weak. Ending was a surprise and seemed to come out of no where.
