What an absolute gripping, page turning, steam powered mystery(ies) this novel portrays. This so far is probably the best in the latest exploits of the railway detective and with an added bonus of introducing of new characters which are complex yet give added depth to the story. Just am soo amazed at Marston’s ability to capture the time and setting of Victorian Swindon and it’s railway connection a must have read for fans of Victorian murder mysteries and crime. Brilliant absolutely brilliant wish I could give 10 stars
