The Body on the Train

fullDescription

London, 1929. In the darkness before dawn, a railway porter, unloading a special train from Yorkshire, discovers a man's body, shot and placed in a sack. There are no means of identification to be found and as Scotland Yard hits a dead end, they call on the inimitable Kate Shackleton, a local sleuth, confident her local knowledge and investigative skills will produce results. But it's no easy task. Suspicion of political intrigue and fears of unrest in the Yorkshire coalfields impose secrecy on her already difficult task. The murder of a shopkeeper around the same time seems too much of a coincidence. The convicted felon was found with blood on his hands, but it's too tidy, and Kate becomes convinced the police have the wrong man. By then it's too late. Kate finds herself in a den of vipers. The real killer is still at large, and having tinkered with Kate's car, nearly causes her to crash. Not only that, but Scotland Yard has turned their back on her. As Kate edges toward the shocking truth, she's going to need all the strength and resourcefulness she can muster to uncover this sinister web of deceit.

   • content: Narrator Anne Dover admirably conveys Yorkshire in 1929 as feisty private investigator Kate Shackleton investigates a body found on a train amid a rhubarb delivery to London. Shackleton goes north and poses as a photojournalist staying with wealthy friends. Dover's appealing Shackleton is joined by her exuberant assistants, Mrs. Sugden, who has a down-to-earth perspective and tone, and Mr. Sykes, an "I told you so" kind of fellow. The powerful dialogue enhances the story's tension when a local murder finds Shackleton going against her rich friends and powerful forces to save an impoverished innocent man. Historical facts, a look at the lives of the prosperous and the poor, and an appealing locale make for an enjoyable and informative listening experience. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine

     September 9, 2019
     When Scotland Yard hits a dead end in Brody’s intricate 11th Kate Shackleton mystery (after A Snapshot of Murder), private detective Kate takes over investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of an unidentified man discovered on a goods train at London’s King’s Cross Station in 1929. The Yard refuses to share any more information, citing national security. Kate’s initial inquiries reveal another unsolved murder at about the same time, and she must feel her way as she seeks answers while not treading on official toes or alarming a skittish populace. Her investigation leads her to the Midlands, where she speaks with farmers, miners, and others over a broad spectrum of society. Kate is determined to get to the truth before an innocent young man becomes a convenient scapegoat to mask bureaucratic ineptitude. This well-told tale is enriched with vignettes of daily life at a time in England when threats of strikes and fears of communist incursion were rampant. Readers must be on their toes to catch the subtle hints Brody skillfully drops. Agent: Rebecca Winfield, Rebecca Winfield Literary.
