Blurb

Violet Harper might be fearless when it comes to caring for the dead, but she trembles at the thought of boarding trains-those behemoths of belching smoke and screeching brakes. Nevertheless, she must travel via one of these beasts from Southampton to Portsmouth. The undertaker's anxiety turns into horror when a fellow passenger is murdered as the train carriage enters a tunnel. Can Violet discover who the murderer is before the train reaches its next stop?

 

Review

This was my introduction to the Lady Ashes mystery series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It gave me enough background/context to understand the characters of Violet and Sam, without taking away from the present action, which is a murder on a moving train. I can't wait to read more in this series!
