Summary
December 1864. As a cold winter wind scours the Worcestershire countryside, an excursion train comes through a tunnel in the Malvern Hills, only to be confronted by a blockage on the line ahead. The driver manages to slow the train down so that the impact is minimised, but the passengers are alarmed.
The first person to alight is Cyril Hubbleday, the man in charge of the excursion. He walks to the front of the locomotive—and, as he is talking to the driver, fireman and guard, he is shot dead by a sniper.
With Christmas around the corner, Inspector Robert Colbeck and Sergeant Victor Leeming are under pressure to solve the case quickly. However, between enemies in the shadows and an investigation hampered by heavy snow, their hunt for a cold-blooded killer is far from straightforward.

Good story, quite entertaining
Enjoyed the story but sorry, the reader was just not right. I’ve listened to others in this series with other readers & I just couldn’t enjoy the accent of this particular person.

Brilliant writer
Absolutely brilliant Edward Marston captures the time period and keeps you in suspense all the way through.
And the narrator has a wonderful voice ,excellent and conveys the story which makes it easy listening.

One of my favourite in this series
You get all of the regular cast that we all know and love, plus the miscreants. The story flows along seamlessly with plenty of twists in the plot. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dreary
Very dreary and depressing. Narration was good, but the story was not very interesting and rather bland.

What went wrong
I love this series of book but this was terrible. The narration was awful and the plot laboured.
Time the railway detective retired or the previous narrator comes back and kicks some life into the story.
