About this listen

When the engines finally met, there was a deafening clash and the Brighton Express twisted and buckled, tipping its carriages on to 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, grimly satisfied as the train pulls out of the station. Chaos, fatalities and unbelievable destruction are the scene soon after when the train derails on the last leg of its journey. Could it simply be a case of driver error? Detective Inspector Colbeck thinks not.

Certainly not high literature but a good tale nonetheless. The reader’s voices for characters were all very similar but his voice did seem to suit the period setting somehow. It’s a good book to listen to when a break from other longer reads is needed and I’m sure I’ll listen to others in this series as I actually grew quite fond of the characters!

Easy listening.

I loved this story. Fascinating details about steam railway travel and a great who done it with an unexpected twist. If you like historical based crime stories I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. It’s an entertaining yarn. I loved the two detectives. Looking forward to hearing the other books.

Thoroughly Enjoyable!
