Highly entertaining for that cross section of the population who loves railways, detective noir, and British history.

Done in the same style as the Aberystwyth books, with a sort of poetic nostalgia adding seriousness to what would otherwise be comically absurd

this book was given to me by netgalley for a honest review..
Malcolm pryce returns with his jack wenlock series which doesn't disappoint after his Aberystwyth noir series and his noir has returned with this a gosling detective on the GWR just before privatisation in 1947 in search of the missing nuns in 1915 one of the major unsolved cases. his humour comes out as we travel between the story in England and the missing journal and the book keeps the reader interested to the end.
