Thirteen Tales from the Railway Detective

By: Edward Marston

Narrated by: Nick McArdle

A thrilling collection of specially commissioned short stories from the master of historical crime fiction Edward Marston, featuring his quick-witted Railway Detective, Inspector Robert Colbeck.

In this thrilling selection of stories, a young porter is found dead in a coal tub; Colbeck devises a trap to catch a thief; and a burnt train carriage holds a gruesome secret in a small coastal village. As Colbeck and his trusty aide Sergeant Victor Leeming begin to piece together clues and motives for each crime, it becomes clear the pair must stay a step ahead of the culprits to solve the cases. With a new suspect at every turn, can the duo unearth the real villains?

I’ve read them all. Wonderful stories and various narrators did the series well. I’ll miss Colbeck and Leeman and the supporting characters. Lovely and highly recommend.
