1859. St Mary's Church, Spondon. A little girl playing hide-and-seek jumps into a freshly-dug grave to find a dead man already occupying it. It is the body of Cedric Norton, a senior director of the Midland Railway. Inspector Colbeck and Sergeant Leeming travel to Derbyshire to investigate.

What a delightful book. It was so nice not to have details of the investigators going off the rails or hitting the buffers. No mobile phones. No computers. Just good old fashioned sleuthing. Good result and good ending. Yup, enjoyed this one very much.

Love these old fashioned thrillers and this is a railway detective which is a bit different to normal police thrillers but on the same lines.
As always when a crime is done in a different area the railway police are not welcome as this area has it's own police, but have not made a good job of any of their cases.
Could do with a few more like these as they are a pleasant to listen to.
