About this listen

1865. A passenger train stands in York station. Jack Follis, the guard, patrols the platform to make sure that everyone is safely aboard. Returning to the brake van to load a box into it, he is alarmed by a smell of burning. Before he can find the cause, there is an explosion and the van is engulfed in flames.

Responding to summons from the North-Eastern Railway, Robert Colbeck and Victor Leeming are sent to investigate. The two are split on whether a murder has taken place. Although the information they received was scant, Colbeck is convinced this is a murder case.

The longer the investigation goes on, the more complex it becomes. Guilt shifts at a bewildering speed. It will take the combined skills of the detectives to identify and catch the person responsible for causing Jack Follis' death.

Nothing at all I was filly satisfied with what was being said although this 15 word minimum is very annoying

This is an okay book. I'm always on two minds about these books. They are either brilliant or very banal..I must think the former because I have 13 of them! But this one not his best. If you want to listen to these books I would start with an earlier one....

Another typical railway detective novel. I enjoyed the story.

As for the performance, you will need to up the reading speed, as the actor's performance will put you to sleep. I was considering returning the book until I speeded it up. His characterisation isn't bad, but the descriptions could solve insomnia.

Good Story but the performance ...

As always I love this story, lots going on but in the middle was a little slow and could have been a bit more action overall a great listen can’t wait for the next one!

A little meandering in the middle but a classic story from the master of the genre
