Rezensionen
PRAISE FOR MURDER ON THE CHRISTMAS EXPRESS:

'Magnificent! A smart, suspenseful and snow-covered mystery with plenty of heart and more than a few quiz questions. A total must read for Christmas' STEPH BROADRIBB

'I absolutely loved it! Such a clever and pacy read with a glorious nod to classic Christie' JO JAKEMAN

'An engrossing and heart-warming mystery. Like a glorious Christmas chocolate - beautiful on the outside with a richly dark centre. Perfect to curl up with on cold winter nights' MARION TODD

'A genuine Christmas Feast. Its 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 snowy 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' AMANDA JENNINGS

'It's an absolute cracker (not sorry . . .). Many try to emulate Christie but this is the real atmospheric deal' SINEAD CROWLEY

'As twisty and turny as Agatha Christie's classic, but with a fresh and sharp modern take. A fantastically atmospheric and compelling mystery, I couldn't stop racing through the pages' KAT AILES, author of The Expectant Detectives
