The first great train robbery.
A Sherlock Holmes type of Victorian crime novel. A gentleman police inspector in the early days of a detective section, no DNA. Good railway knowledge to set the scene of the original great train robbery. Read full review

Intriguing Victorian mystery.
This is an entertaining Victorian mystery and adventure. The characters are well drawn and the pace is quick from the start. Especially fun for the railway enthusiast and lover of steam trains.
Historically accurate, suspenseful and interesting read. A good start to the series. Looking forward to reading the rest. Recommended.Read full review

Brilliant. True to life detective with Victorian atmosphere.
Excellent read and very enjoyable. Read the second and 3rd in the series before this one and it was great. Really recommend to avoid readers.

Transport of Delight
This book introduces us to DI Colbeck. It is the first of a collection of 4 railway novels by Edward Marston. A delightful introduction to "gentler times" and the beginnings of the dective arm of the Metrolpolitan Police. It faifhully recreates the change from horse drawn to steam transport and draws you into that era. You should be transported back to Victoria times in a flash. He cleverly weaves a tale of murder, revenge & romance. It is a real page turner and leaves one wanting more. I wish there were more in the series.Read full review
