David Quantick
A woman wakes up, frightened and alone – with no idea where she is. She's in a room but it's shaking and jumping like it’s alive. Stumbling through a door, she realizes she is in a train carriage. A carriage full of the dead. This is the Night Train. A bizarre ride on a terrifying locomotive, heading somewhere into the endless night. How did the woman get here? Who is she? And who are the dead? As she struggles to reach the front of the train, through strange and horrifying creatures with stranger stories, each step takes her closer to finding out the train’s hideous secret. Next stop: unknown.
"David Quantick is one of the best kept secrets in the world of writing. He's smart, funny and unique. You should let yourself in on the secret." – NEIL GAIMAN©2020 David Quantick

In this case, it's the train of the title. The rest of the tale explores her journey of discovery. As she makes her way through the carriages she encounters increasingly bizarre situations and characters. Unfortunately, the scenes are often so random and disconnected it's a little like someone describing a dream they've had and expecting everyone to find it as fascinating as they do.
But it's an okay tale with some disturbing imagery and while I struggled with the narrator at first, she grew on me.
What stopped me in my tracks (ho, ho) was the extremely repetitive use of "He said", "She said",
As others have pointed out, once you first notice it, it becomes increasingly frustrating.
I understand some creative writing courses tell aspiring authors not to worry too much about repeating "said" as readers tend to skip over the word anyway, That might be true on the printed page but you can't help noticing it on audio.
Quantick is an accomplished writer for the screen and I wonder if this started life as a script and the author thought he could simply add in a few "she said" to the script to turn it into a novel.
It's a shame as I like David Quantick and his non-fiction work, but I can't give this novel more than three stars.
"Three stars," I said.

Some of the she said, he said , they said we’re a wee repetitive.
