The Railway Detective by Edward Marston

4.0

Review - This is the third series I have read of Edward Marston's (the others being the Nicholas Bracewell and Bow Street Rivals series). This one doesn't let you down in that it's engaging and adds in little twists and turns that you don't expect. The historical detail is rich, and it couldn't be set at any other time than Victorian London. There is plenty of humour and, mixed with the historical detail, this makes the book well worth reading if you're looking for a cosy crime novel.
