Synopsis

Young Imogen Burnhope and her maid Rhoda board a non-stop train to Oxford to visit her Aunt Cassandra, who waits on the platform at Oxford station where the train terminates, to greet them. Only they never arrive. All the passengers alight but the two women are nowhere to be seen. The train is searched and the coachman swears he saw them board onto first class, but they seem to have vanished into thin air. The Railway Detective must unravel the mystifying web of their disappearance before Imogen and Rhoda vanish into oblivion for good.

About this title

About the Author:

Edward Marston has written over a hundred books, including some non fiction. He is best known for his hugely successful Railway Detective series. His other current series are the Home Front Detective , set in the Great War, and the Bow Street Rivals, featuring identical twin detectives during the Regency.

Review:

"I’m a fan of Edward Marston’s Inspector Colbeck detective series. I like the coolly heroic Colbeck and his slightly fuddy-duddy side-kick, Detective Sergeant Leeming. Their characters are well-rounded and believable; the author’s research into the workings of the railways is impeccable but never intrusive; and there are enough twists and turns of the plot to keep the reader involved and interested."
