I’m trying to remember the title or author of a book I read a while ago.
It’s about a train journey where someone on it has a bomb in a back pack.
I think it tells about the lives of the passengers and I think the bomb goes off.
I know I’d read other books by this author but cant remember any more.

AI suggests it is The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue, it says:

The story features a young, radical anarchist named Madeleine "Mado" Pelletier who boards the train clutching a homemade bomb hidden inside her metal lunch pail (or bag). She enters the third-class carriage with the strict intention of detonating it before reaching Paris to make a political statement.

The Lives of the Passengers: The book is a multi-perspective look at the diverse lives of the people on board.

Hope this helps!
