The Fast Train to the Grave

Detective of Last Resort

There's a corpse on his train – and a killer still on board...

Rusty Macduff is a private eye with a niche: he only takes on the cases every other detective in the golden age of crime turns down.

But this time he hasn't got a choice. The only other passenger in his railway compartment has just been murdered in front of him without a sound or sign of struggle, and there's no other detective on his train.

There's less than an hour till the train arrives at its final stop. Somewhere an ingenious killer must still be on board. Somehow Rusty has to find and stop him – before he can escape forever.

Perfect Pace

A great mystery! I felt the narrator’s pace was spot on. The clues were few and some times misdirecting. I loved the thought put into every part of the book. I especially love the fact the author, C.A.W. Parker didn’t feel the story’s ending required a drawn out prologue to tie things up or overtly explain everything. Great listen!
