When bride-to-be Alicia Finlay sees a body drop off the Indian Pacific in the dead of night, even her beloved Book Club think her mind is up to its usual tricks. After all, they've brought along not one but EIGHT iconic train mysteries to read while on an iconic train-in this case, a real-life locomotive that crosses Australia's wide brown girth.
Surely Alicia's mixing fact and fiction? Or perhaps they can blame it on all that celebratory champagne...
Soon after, a first-class passenger is reported missing and the Book Club quickly sober up. The family of Wheat Baron Clay Dartmoor insist he got off willingly at a remote mining town, but Alicia's convinced Clay was pushed long before then, and his shifty family aren't the only suspects.
With a cast of colourful passengers and crew to choose from, the amateur sleuths have just two days to work out whodunnit before they reach Perth and the professionals jump aboard.
Grab your Akubra hat, book your cosy berth and snuggle in, folks, for the Book Club's most rollicking adventure yet. It's a locked-door, closed-circle thriller that offers twists, adventure, love and laughs while whisking you across the stunning red heart of Australia.
The seventh instalment in the best-selling cosy mystery series is one for true train(mystery)spotters. Have you read all the train mysteries on the Book Club's list? And can you connect the dots before they reach Perth?
NB: This series was previously titled The Agatha Christie Book Club and follows BRITISH English spelling and usage, and contains some Australian slang. Clean read: no graphic violence, sex, or strong language. Genre: cozy mystery, humour, amateur sleuths.
