Publisher's summary

CAN YOU SOLVE THE CASE?

Eighteen passengers. Seven stops. One killer.

In the early hours of Christmas Eve, the sleeper train to the Highlands is derailed, along with the festive plans of its travellers. With the train stuck in snow in the middle of nowhere, a killer stalks its carriages, picking off passengers one by one. Those who sleep on the sleeper train may never wake again.

Can former Met detective Roz Parker find the killer before they kill again?

All aboard for . . . Murder on the Christmas Express.

Critic reviews

'Whatever you unwrap for Christmas, you had better hope it’s this book. This is 21st-century cosy Christmas crime that doesn’t shy away from the darkness. Eighteen passengers, seven stops, one killer Christmas read' JANICE HALLETT

'The perfect book to read on a train . . . A thrilling journey from start to finish. Highly recommended' ELLY GRIFFITHS

'It’s wonderful! A page-turning homage to the Golden Age, with a dash of Poirot and a dark, modern heart' S J BENNETT

Wonderful Ride

Good story- not formulaic- unexpected twists and turns- wonderful! Meaningful. Would like to follow Roz in her next adventure

Lots of trauma for a Christmas Cozy

Lots of trauma for a Christmas Cozy. It wasn’t cherry but dark, for a holiday cozy mystery.

Utter drivel

Possibly one of the worst books I have ever listened to.

Banal plot, irritating characters, nothing of any entertainment value whatsoever.

Skipped through more chapters that I actually listened to, as they became more and more irritating. Especially the smug self righteousness of the lead character.

Terrible book.
