Resumen del Editor

A puzzling locked-room mystery that puts someone Oldroyd loves in terrible danger…

When a film shoot on Wharfedale’s vintage railway turns into a grisly crime scene, DCI Oldroyd’s idyllic visit to the countryside with his partner Deborah is well and truly stopped in its tracks. One of the film’s stars has been shot dead in a train carriage while the cameras rolled outside. But nobody else went in—or came out. Has the killer really pulled off the perfect, impossible crime?

Scouring the victim’s past for clues, Oldroyd soon unearths a string of heartbroken lovers and a mountain of unpaid debts, each adding to the growing list of suspects. But before he can determine who the culprit is, there’s the small matter of figuring out how they did it. A potential connection to a previous tragedy offers Oldroyd a much-needed lead…

Whoever the perpetrator is, they are ruthless and determined to avoid detection, and when a railway worker starts joining the dots, they are quickly silenced—for good. But as Oldroyd gets ever closer to the truth, it’s only a matter of time before he is given a chilling warning to back off.

Perhaps Deborah should have stayed somewhere safe…

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The steady, gravelly voice of longtime narrator Michael Page transports listeners to a present-day film shoot at a vintage railway station.… The railway enthusiasts and assorted actors are portrayed with genuineness, and the locals sound convincingly like Yorkshire folks. While the mystery takes place in the present, there is a charming vintage feel to this production.”—AudioFile Magazine

Dated

I just couldn’t engage. The storyline is a throw back to Agatha Christie but without the interesting characters. The reader’s voice was not my cup of tea and his execution of Yorkshire accents was sad. I listenes to it because I lived in the district and it was nice to revisit familiar locations.

The Railway Murders

I had fun listening to this book while I had a quiet night at work. I'm happy there are more books in the series.

Excellent

The story is very good. The narration is excellent. An enjoyable book read by a very skilled narrator. Ellis is always an excellent writer. Can’t wait for the next!!

Great read

Love the characters and the plot was very creative. Will be looking forward to the next book

Entertaining story

This was an entertaining story with interesting characters and story line. It was refreshing to listen as the story progressed. I would recommend this novel and series to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.

Good plot, meh execution

The storyline was very good- I didn’t guess who did it… but the writing is a bit painful at times- some unnecessary repetition, stating the obvious, and the characters didn’t really develop. I doubt I will listen to another in this series.

Traditional whodunnit

If you’re in the market for a traditional whodunnit this is your huckleberry. Narrator had a bit of a quavery voice but as I am American the dialect was not bothersome.

Great Mystery

This mystery is interesting and imaginative. I have read the entire series and enjoyed every book!

Love this story

Love this story. I have listened to this entire book series and it is great.

Could have been better.

The basic story was ok, but the police were inept. Who leaves a murder scene unguarded? Who doesn’t check every compartment near the murder?Why don’t the characters have boyfriends or girlfriends instead of partners? Why didn’t anyone realize that actors and actresses may be using a stage name?
