The Iron Horse
The Iron Horse | Edward Marston
2 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Derby Day at Epsom Downs. A multitude of people crowd to watch the races: dukes and dustmen, bishops and beggars, privileged ladies and prostitutes. The gamut of Victorian society and a hotbed for crime and crooks of all kinds. With the nation a - flutter in the run up to this national event, a disembodied head is discovered on a passenger train at Crewe; the first in a murky course of events that takes in murder, fraud and race - fixing. Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck and his assistant are assigned to the case and are soon snarled up in a web of skulduggery stretching across the country. They are forced to ask themselves, just how much is someone prepared to hazard to win?

I'm not a person who likes books that are based around the Horse Racing fraternity but this novel was something special. As usual in the Railway Detective Series this one starts with a murder that had to be investigated. The actual investigation was enthralling, interesting and each of the characters were uniquely different from one another. It was an intriguing story from the first to the very last page.
