About this listen

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.

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.

The story line is great. I always enjoy this authors books but the narration is a little irritating at times.

Good Listen

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
