Tragedy on the Branch Line
Tragedy on the Branch Line | Edward Marston
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
When Bernard Pomeroy finds a letter slipped under his door in the early hours, he flies into a panic. After dashing off a short note to a friend, he hands it to the porter at Corpus Christi College before hastening on to the railway station and boarding a train leaving Cambridge. However, shortly after disembarking at his destination, the undergraduate lies dead on the platform. Inspector Colbeck and Sergeant Leeming are summoned by the Master of the college to investigate Pomeroy's untimely demise. With the Boat Race on the horizon, the president of the Cambridge Boat Club believes their Oxford rivals are responsible for the death of their talented cox. Yet it seems Pomeroy had ruffled many feathers during his short time at the university. With academic disputes, sporting rivalry and a clandestine romance in play, the Railway Detective will have to disentangle the many threads of Pomeroy's life in order to answer the truth about his death.

A relaxing tour around Bury St. Edmunds and Cambridge as described by the Railway Detectives in their latest investigation into a murder of a scholar at the famous university.While the Inspector's father-in-law had woman problems in London the story flittered between four places as Oxford also had its part to play. Was the killing due to the rivalry of the Oxford/Cambridge boat race team or something more sinister? A very enjoyable read.

Another very good read in the Railway Detective Series. An intriguing case for Insoector Colbeck and Leeming to get involved with, this time involving some rivalries between Oxford and Cambridge. Was the victim killed so that Oxford could win the annual Boat Race?
