| Summary | "The Rome Express" by Arthur Griffiths is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. Set aboard a train speeding towards Paris, the story intricately weaves the lives of its passengers around a shocking murder. The narrative predominantly focuses on the discovery of a dead man in a sleeping compartment, believed to be a victim of foul play. As the plot unfolds, characters such as General Sir Charles Collingham and Countess di Castagneto come under scrutiny, their backgrounds and connections revealing layers of intrigue and suspicion. At the start of "The Rome Express," the train's occupants are roused from their slumber to face the shocking reality of murder when a lifeless body is discovered in one of the sleeping compartments. The atmosphere quickly transforms from the mundane routines of travel into a tension-filled scenario where every passenger becomes a suspect. Early scenes set the stage for the investigation, with detectives arriving to interrogate the passengers and the porter, each detail hinting at complexities within their relationships and pasts. The execution of the protagonist’s search for truth intertwines with the exploration of the human psyche, as characters grapple with fear, guilt, and the implications of their actions in the face of a horrifying crime. The vivid descriptions and suspenseful pacing invite readers to delve deeper into the narrative to uncover the truth. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
