I was taken to see a circus when I was a small boy and didn't enjoy it. Because of that experience I was not overly keen on reading this, the 14th book in the Railway Detective Series. Settling in to the investigations, two in Northumberland and one in London, there wasn't much progress and a lot of time was spent travelling without many thrills. In the latter stages the story came alive resulting in another very enjoyable and fulfilling mystery.

Another very enjoyable read in the Railway Detective Series. There was certainly plenty going on in this book, with most of the events taking place in Northumberland, England. I certainly recommend this series (have now read them all) for anyone who likes light enjoyable historical mystery series - although there is more emphasis on the mystery as opposed to the history. Good for early railway enthusiasts!

Bambolina_81 I saw the whole set on offer earlier and wondered if I should get them...maybe I will after your review 😊 7y
Andrew65 @Bambolina_81 It is a series I have enjoyed, in general a bit cosier than some mystery books I read, but I like the interplay between the main group of characters. A different feel to many mystery books. Stories are always quite interesting too. 7y
