The Highland Falcon Thief by M.G. Leonard, Sam Sedgman
5.0
Thank you to Edelweiss+ for an ARC of this book for an honest review.
I started reading The Highland Falcon Thief with really no idea about what I was starting. I read the synopsis and thought it sounded like something my girls for Mother/Daughter book club. This story didn't disappoint. It starts with Harrison "Hal" Beck, having to go on a train ride with his journalist/book writer Uncle, while his mother is having his baby sister.
It starts with Hal finding a stowaway in the form of, Lenny. The engineers daughter, who wanted to ride the Highland Falcon for its last ride. Liberties were definitely taken when it came to things that happen on the train (water troughs!), and there were some points where I thought it was very dry, but the detail that went into explaining the inner happenings of a steam engine were phenomenal.
Hal and Lenny, soon discover that there was a jewel thief on the train and they decided that they were going to find out whodunit. With everyone a suspect (even Hal and Lenny), who stole the diamonds? I highly recommend this book, and I believe it's going to be a great read for my book club!
