Book Reviews of The Railway Viaduct (Inspector Robert Colbeck) (The Railway Detective)
Book Review: Entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
"The Railway Viaduct" is an absorbing mystery that will keep you guessing till the very end...well no it won't. Mainly because once you've got past half way the book puts us in the position of knowing more than lead character Inspector Robert Colbeck.
Indeed my only criticism is that on more than a couple of occasions waiting for Colbeck to catch up with what we already know does become slightly irritating.
Still it is what one might have once called a "ripping yarn". From the opening chapter, and the discovery of the dead body thrown from the train this is a great story with many twists and turns. A great many of the characters (Sergeant Victor Leeming, Madeleine Andrews to name but two) are brilliantly observed and this is a book that grabs you right from the start.
My first encounter with the Railway Dectective...but it won't be my last.
