‘A rattling good tale’ – DAILY MAIL
From the bestselling Victorian mystery series …
December 1864. As a cold winter wind scours the Worcestershire countryside, an excursion train comes through a tunnel in the Malvern Hills to be confronted by a blockage on the line ahead. Although a disastrous derailment is averted, the passengers are alarmed. Cyril Hubbleday, the man in charge of the excursion, alights to investigate further, but the angry altercation with the driver is cut short by a shot from a sniper, straight through Hubbleday’s head.
Christmas is coming all too soon and Inspector Robert Colbeck and Sergeant Victor Leeming are under pressure to solve the case quickly. However, with enemies in the shadows behind the seasonal trip, and with strong criticism from the local constabulary, the hunt for a cold-blooded killer is far from straightforward.

I have read every Railway Detective book by Edward Marston – he has never let me down.
Yet another page turner.
Very atmospheric – you get immersed in the area that the book is set in and the characters come to life.
I will not get into the story line – but go on – give it a read – I am sure you will enjoy.
You may even want to read the other books in the series.
Keep up the good work Edward – can’t wait for the next book.
by J. Osborne
Although an enjoyable read, did not find this quite as enthralling as the other books in the series that I have read thus far. Nevertheless, still an intriguing tale.
