Goodreads asked Jo Allison:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jo Allison Train trips back in 1911 were the quickest way to get someplace: four days from San Francisco to St. Louis. And I got to thinking about the somewhat common suspense idea of a crime or the threat of a crime on a moving train. Maybe I was reliving Murder on the Orient Express or some such. I decided Will and Julia were due a belated honeymoon, complete with all the trouble they usually find.
