This review is from: Murder on the Railways (Paperback)

From time to time I make a genuine effort to broaden my reading. I even try Fiction. This rarely works out for me - I sit there muttering "I can write better than!" and "Totally not credible" and usually abandon these attempts with a half-guilty rage on triteness.

The chapter introductions by Peter Haining are well written, crafted to whet the appetite for the pieces that follow and are informative.

I am afraid his was the only authorship I enjoyed.

5.0 out of 5 stars For anyone who loves the romance of trains, July 27, 2005

This review is from: Murder on the Railways (Paperback)

I picked up a well worn copy of this at a bady guesthouse in Ayutthaya Thailand. I have not been able to put it down. ANyone who has ever traveled on trains and enjoyed it will love this book. I am not talking about the ultra-modern trains either. I am talking about the terrible ones you ride in Eastern Europe where the ride is so terrible you can't help but love it.

This book is a collection of short stories all taking place on the rails. It is broken down into 4 sections. 1. Murder Express; Classic Journeys into fear. 2. Tracked Down; The Railway Detectives. 3. Tunnel Visions; Death on the Subway. 4. End of the line; Commuter Crimes.

I have traveled all over Europe and love riding the rails. This book was simply awesome. I only wish I could have read it while on one of my trips.
