A review by micrummey
Railway to the Grave by Edward Marston
2.0
An easy read where you don't have to think too much. The language can be stilted at times and then we get great swathes of expositional dialogue as various characters explain copious historical facts which didn't sound believable in that would they really speak like that.
In other books of the series Colbreck's fiancee Madeleine becomes involved in the investigation or crime, this time she is literally pushed into a siding to discuss domestic issues with her father as Colbreck and Leeming head for North Yorkshire to investigate a murder and suicide.
Marston gives us plenty of likely suspects and motives but the ending does have a modern day ending to which Colbreck has suddenly developed a 21st century attitude.
