The Iron Horse - Rated
Although the 'railways' don't play a significant role in this story as its predecessors I still found it absorbing and difficult to put down.
It took me 2 evenings to finish due to work but entertaining it was. Highly recommended - another success for Edward Marston
Fourth in the Inspector Colbeck Mysteries - Rated
Keith Miles, aka Edward Marston and Martin Inigo, came from Wales to read Modern History at Oxford. He has been a university lecturer, radio, television, and theatre dramatist, and in addition to writing has worked as an actor, director, and dramatist. He has been quite a prolific writer under the pseudonym Edward Marston with a long series of books featuring the Elizabethan theatre, and also his Domesday. When not travelling or fulfilling speaking engagements, he lives in rural isolation in Kent.
This is the fourth book that features Inspector Colbeck. The book has a dramatic opening when a small crowd of passengers standing besides some luggage at the station are given the fright of their lives when the lid of a hatbox is flipped open and its contents tipped out. Rolling about on the platform was a human head.
The country at large is excited as Derby Day approaches. People from all walks of Victorian society gather to watch the races. The plot thickens when another human head is discovered on a train at Crewe. Inspector Colbeck and his assistant are assigned the case and are rapidly involved in a web of deceit that stretches across the country. Just how much is someone prepared to gamble to win . . .
