Murder Buys a One-Way Ticket is the twentieth installment in the A Jaine Austen Mystery series featuring freelance writer Jaine Austen. Jaine finds herself hired to ghostwrite a fitness book for Chip Miller, the owner of the Fitness Factory.
Jaine and Prozac hop on board Chip's private train car for a trip from Los Angles to Santa Barbara. Chip treats his family and staff horribly and it's no wonder he winds up dead during the trip. With her DNA on the murder weapon, Jaine must work to clear her name. All while dealing with the crazy emails from her parents in Florida.
This addition to the series reminds you a little of Murder on the Orient Express, and for me the mystery was a flop with the series seeming to have run its course. The surprise ending wraps up the story of Jaine and Prozac, albeit a little abruptly.
