Review: Daisy is on her way to write a magazine article about a country house in Scotland. She has treated herself to a first class ticket on the Flying Scotsman. She is surprised and worried when Belinda Fletcher, daughter of her friend, Detective Chief Inspector Alex Fletcher appears in her compartment. Belinda has run away from her grandmother and stowed away on the train without a ticket in the hope that she can reach her father who is working on a case in Northumberland. One of Daisy's former school friends appears in her compartment having recognised her on the platform and tells her that she and her whole family are on their way to Edinburgh to hear what a relative is intending to do with his large fortune. But before the train has got much further than York, an elderly gentleman who Belinda has befriended is found dead and it looks like murder. There are some marvellous characters in this story - the ill assorted members of the family - all of whom are suspects in the murder; the local police especially Superintendent Halliday; and Belinda herself. This is the first book in the series in which Belinda has played a large part and she is an interesting character. I particularly liked the Indian doctor who sees more than many people think he does and he features in one of the most amusing scenes in the book towards the end. The plot is beautifully complex and will keep most readers guessing until very close to the end. This is an enjoyable read and it is the fourth instalment in the Daisy Dalrymple series which started withDeath at Wentwater Court (Daisy Dalrymple)

Review: Expected (from listening to a little of the sample) to hear a good 1920/30s English accent. Sadly no. American pronunciation of castle ('a' as in cat which should have been 'a' as in car) BUT even worse was the verbal portrayal of the Grandfather. What was that supposed to be, Scots, Irish or what? It sounded like a 'French & Saunders' sketch. Had to give up after 5 minutes. I should have learnt my lesson after buying 'The Winter Garden Mystery' where the reader made a poor attempt to be an English 'flapper'. Really, such an English heroine should be read by someone who could do the voice and accent justice. Never again will I buy a Daisy Dalrymple audiobook. Expensive mistakes. I'll give them to a charity shop.

    Description: In 1970 two unlikely characters were part of Flying Scotsman's tour of America and Canada. Describing their adventure of a lifetime are Richard Hinchcliffe, who was the thirteen-year-old son of tour manager George Hinchcliffe, and Bill Wagner, at that time a twenty-one-year-old train-chasing college student from Illinois. Their intense experience from the summer of 1970 is still very much part of their lives. Now, over fifty years later, they come together again using Wagner's magnificent photographs and Hinchcliffe's inside story to bring you their extraordinary record of how the world's most famous steam locomotive captured American hearts. This is the untold story of Flying Scotsman's 1970 tour of America from Texas to Wisconsin and into Canada. It hauled a trade mission along the eastern seaboard in 1969 - good for British business, but bad for the finances of the owner Alan Pegler. In 1970 the train set off again without the trade mission, calling at smaller venues, travelling on the cheapest tracks and meeting thousands of people along the way.

Instead he entered a different event that was not being competed on the Sabbath. and won a gold anyway. One of Scotland's finest athletes, Liddell was feted throughout the United Kingdom. At the height of his fame, however, he slipped quietly out of the limelight to become a missionary in China, where he later came to an unpleasant end in a Japanese internment camp.
