'A genuine Christmas Feast. It's traditional wrapping conceals a fiendish mystery, a heart of darkness and - in Roz - a wonderfully flawed heroine that you will absolutely fall in love with. If you like your Christmas murderous and melancholy, it's going to keep you very happy over the Festive Period' DEREK FARRELL

A thought-provoking modern take on a Golden Age mystery. Set on a sleeper train racing into the snow y darkness, this atmospheric tale features a tight cast of vividly-drawn characters, and piercing observation. Expertly crafted, the story kept me glued to the pages until the mystery was finally - and satisfyingly - revealed. A great read - I loved it AMANDA JENNINGS
