Summary

Yorkshire 1855. When Colonel Aubrey Tarleton walks into the path of a speeding train, he is crushed to death on the track. The famous Railway Detective, Inspector Robert Colbeck, is immediately put on the case to determine why such a well-respected man would have resorted to suicide. Tarleton's wife had recently gone missing, but was the colonel responsible for her disappearance? It's up to Colbeck and his trusty sergeant Victor Leeming to uncover the truth.

Another great book in this series

I really enjoy The Railway Detective series, even though I have no interest in trains or railways. The characters are all fabulous and the narration superb.

A nice surprise

I bought this in a sale and I really enjoyed it. It is a well read and well written mystery with a credible plat and characters sufficiently well drawn to interest and engage the reader. It was well read and a very pleasant listen with a plausible conclusion. This style is a more gentle than the books I usually buy but I will look out for more in this series.

A good Victorian murder yarn

Well developed characters, reflecting the morals and culture of Victorian times. There's a nod to the railways, but they're not really a theme in the book. Entertaining, a good listen and I'll listen to more
