The set up in Ernest Cunningham #2 took too long to happen. We were being told things about characters instead of letting the character's actions speak for themself.

DID NOT FINISH

Tried to start after the okay first one, was bored to tears, gave up.

 Another cozy mystery to keep me entertained! I was a little worried I would be overwhelmed by the amount of characters, but they were easy to follow. A great whodunnit for fans of the genre who want a sprinkle of humor and sarcasm to throw into the mix.

I will now rethink my desire to go on long train rides.
