Blood on the Tracks: Railway Mysteries by Martin Edwards
3.0
So I treated myself to Blood On The Tracks just after Christmas because a) I love a short story, especially mystery ones, and b) I enjoy a bit of classic crime and it's been awhile since I picked one up. Plus, I kind of miss travelling on trains even though I'm not the biggest fan of them in general.
Blood On The Tracks was a good mix of stories from well-known authors to some authors whose works had gone out of print years ago. It also had a good mix of styles, from ones with a little of the supernatural, to ones you knew up front who the killer was to just good old-fashioned locked room mysteries.
Like with most collections, there are stronger ones than others. Unfortunately for me, I felt that the not so great stories outweighed the good ones in this collection.
Still, I really enjoyed discovering new authors and reading stories which I have never read before from the ones I knew.
