Welcome to Litsy!

Taking a breather and getting some quiet reading time in by the tree. Also enjoying the new blanket I got for Christmas 🥰

This Police procedural,first in a series,is set in 1851 UK, mostly on trains or in stations.The mail train from London to Birmingham is dramatically robbed of its gold coin enroute to a London bank,gravely injuring the engineer. DI.Colbeck,& his team are called to the scene to investigate.What follows is a fascinating hunt to find the responsible parties.The characters,their relationships,& their interplay adds to the fun.

Bailing I'm afraid. Just not able to get into the story so moving on.

First in the Detective Inspector Colbeck Mystery series there is little time to introduce the DI's sergeant or superior officer before a train is robbed at gun point and the investigation begins. It's 1851 and with all the action taking place around the UK and close to the railways this is a thoroughly enjoyable police procedural. The investigation is easy to follow, has good characters and is a nice relaxing cosy read with an element of suspense.

I love the Inspector Robert Colbeck Series, Colbeck is also known as The Railway Detective. All take place on trains, stations or connected to railways. #letstravelaugust

@Andrew65 Thank you for the recommendation as this was a fun and entertaining mystery to start my flight with.
Flight was delayed taking off as the oven wasn‘t working for the breakfast meals in first class so everyone had to wait until someone ran to the Bojangles and bought us chicken, sausage and bacon biscuits to go with our fruit. Chicken biscuit was quite tasty. They were able to make up a lot of the time so we weren‘t very late. 😁

Love the whole Railway Detective series, and enjoy my time spent with Inspector Robert Colbeck. Good historical mysteries, and love the interplay between the main characters. The series starts with The Railway Detective but all the books involve #trains #noteworthynovember
