Summary
Benedict Cumberbatch reads five stories featuring the famous vegetarian railway detective Thorpe Hazell, as heard on BBC Radio 4.
In "The Affair of the German Dispatch-Box", Hazell hatches a daring plan to retrieve a highly sensitive government document before it reaches the German Ambassador. In "Sir Gilbert Murrell's Picture", when an entire wagon containing valuable paintings disappears from a goods train, Hazell's skill is needed. In "The Affair of the Corridor Express", a multimillionaire's son disappears from a moving train. Hazell must find the kidnappers before the boy is lost forever. In "The Stolen Necklace" a lady begs Hazell to help when the diamond necklace that she borrowed is stolen from her suitcase. In "The Affair of the Birmingham Bank", customers keep drawing money from a Midlands bank, so gold reserves are sent by train. Hazell must guard against train robbery.

Great listening
Loved these short stories, brilliantly narrated, so well produced and atmospheric. Benedict Cumberbatch's characterisation was excellent. Would love to listen to more in this series.

Dull, increadabuly dull. And I like trains.
Despite trying really hard, even Cumberbatch couldn't save this book, with its tendancy to throw in far more detail than anyone could possibly need.
