Murder on the Brighton Express
Murder on the Brighton Express | Edward Marston
1 post | 7 read
When the engines finally met, there was a deafening clash and the Brighton Express twisted and buckled, tipping its carriages onto the other line. It was a scene of utter devastation. October, 1854. As crowds of passengers rush to make the departure of the London to Brighton Express, a man watches from the shadows nearby... Chaos, fatalities and unbelieveable destruction are the scene soon after when the train derails just outside the Balcombe Tunnel. Could it simply be a case of driver error? Detective Inspector Colbeck thinks not. But digging deep to discover the intended target of the accident takes time, something Colbeck doesn't have as the killer prepares to strike again.

If reading this book out of sequence its quite good how the novel reiterates the way that the Railway Detective achieved his name and how the characters relate to each other. However, it may become a bit tedious if the explanation occurs in every story. Despite people being crushed by trains or chopped into pieces when they are ran over by one, to me it was still a cosy mystery. I discovered the true target and the reasons why quite early on.
