Publisher's summary

All aboard a train bound for murder....

Kitty Underhay is looking forward to a week of long lunches and wedding planning with her husband-to-be, Captain Matthew Bryant. But the plan is derailed when he is called on to collect a former comrade-in-arms, arriving on the 15:50 from Paddington. As the train bearing Simon Travers pulls up to the platform, a piercing scream rises over the screech of its brakes. Travers is dead in his seat, a dagger in his heart.

Who gave this defenseless man a one-way ticket to the next life? And why? And could Matt’s close connection put him at risk? Only a few individuals had access to Travers’s compartment, and Kitty must find out which of these seemingly benign passengers is, in fact, a cross-country killer.

But when Kitty’s prime suspect, the travelling salesman with no merchandise, is found murdered, she is stumped - until she makes the connection between the two victims and realizes that this murderer has an even more deadly destination in mind! Can she stop them, before they strike again? Or will Kitty’s own next stop be the graveyard?

A pitch-perfect, and totally gripping, Golden-Age historical, cozy mystery! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

The Miss Underhay Mystery series was previously narrated by Alex Tregear, who is now beginning a new adventure as she trains to be an occupational therapist.

Another great adventure

I am thoroughly enjoying this series. Great plot and writing. The Narrator of this book (Karen Cass) gives a very good performance, and she is much preferred over Polly Edsall (the Narrator of the previous book).

Performance

I like the reader much better with this performance than the previous person. The original reader was still the best, though. Enjoy listening to these books while I drive. Thank you

Cute and cosy

I love the stories of Kitty Underhay. A feel good cosy mystery that keeps you wondering who did it. I struggled a bit with the new voice actor but soon got into it again.

Love Miss Underhay!

I would recommend this to anyone that loves historical fiction and mysteries and empower her themes!

Great progress

Well written and well-narrated.

Nice progression in romance and the addition of Bertie provides some lightness to the tale. Looking forward to the next one and the inevitable confrontation with E H.

New narrator

The newest narrator, Karen Cass, has been wonderful. I have heard her in other audible books. She makes the characters come to life!

Love Karen Cass as narrator

I miss the first and original narrator very much. I much prefer Karen Cass to the narrator of the previous book.

Good

Well this one has a lot of red herrings and many twists and turns! Enjoyed story and narration!

Appreciated the new Narrator

Still miss Alex, but Karen's version of Kitty was much more to my liking than the previous narrator. the story line is wonderful and I enjoy stepping into the past with Matt and Kitty.

This series is very enjoyable.

Really glad I found this series. The author lost the best narrator and so this book is narrated by the third one. She is not the disaster the last book was, Kitty is once again very sweet. Matt doesn't have a terribly manly voice though. However, the oddest thing about this narrator is that she has a cadence and a lilt in her voice sometimes the lilt goes up and sometimes the lilt goes down, but whichever way it goes it conveys complete and utter boredom with the script. The resolution to the murder is just so-so in my opinion. However, if you love this series, you will love this book. It is still an interesting and fun listen.
