    Travel by Train?
  

*by V***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018*

The most well-known train mystery ever written is arguably Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express”. However, the railway mysteries included in this collection aren’t limited to the trains themselves, but also to the tracks the trains run on, tunnels, and signal boxes.Authors include Arthur Conan Doyle, Freeman Willis Crofts, Miles Burton, and Robert Eustace, to name but a few.The stories vary in length and in content. Some are murders, some are crimes of various sorts, and others are just mysteries.“The Affair of the Corridor Express” is an intriguing case of the disappearance of a schoolboy on a non-stop express.“The Eighth Lamp” raises the question of how a guilty conscience and the supernatural can be entwined.“The Knight’s Cross Signal Problem” involves a railway tragedy, where a solution of sorts is produced out of thin air, but leaves the actual resolution dangling, and this reader with a faint sense of dissatisfaction.In the rather gruesomely titled “The Unsolved Puzzle of the Man With No Face”, we encounter the delightful Lord Peter Wimsey in an intriguing murder, with an even more intriguing ending.“The Railway Carriage” is a short story that takes the breath away. With a touch of the supernatural and the macabre, it is memorable.In “The Level Crossing” we have a great moral battle and the staggering result. This is a brilliant short story by a great detective novelist.These are just some of the stories on offer in this anthology and this book is one I will read again. Each writer is a well-known and respected detective and/or mystery novelist, so all the stories are well-written. Easy reading and a solid four stars.

    Collection of 15 Rail-related Short Stories - 4+
  

*by B***) on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2019*

Fine collection of British short story writing from the early to mid-20th Century.  Among the authors are Dorothy Sayers, Michael Gilbert and Arthur Conan Doyle.  Some small gems here, and some of less engrossing stature.  All of the stories are related to crimes committed during rail travel (or on the London tube).  The writing is often anti-modern, conjuring up Victorian/Edwardian language and grammar at times.  Quite enjoyable overall.  A great book for before-sleep reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Every story a treasure.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2020*

If you're a fan of the Golden Age of Mysteries, then Martin Edwards' collections of rediscovered gems is for you. Every story is interesting, surprising & very well-written. This particular collection is of stories connected to trains - traveling on them, working on them or seeing them go by. I'm always a little sad when I've finished the book!
