Terror on the Train
by Jeanne M. Dams

Dorothy Martin is travelling from England to Canada for a wedding, but her journey takes a dark twist when a man falls from the train.

Dorothy Martin and her husband, retired chief constable Alan Nesbitt, are leaving England behind to attend a wedding on Vancouver Island, Canada. Opting for the scenic route, the pair board the Empire Builder sleeper train from Chicago to Seattle. But the journey takes a terrifying turn when Dorothy witnesses a person falling from the train.

The body of a man is quickly found on the route, and Dorothy feels compelled to investigate. Who was he? Was he alive or dead when he fell? Could his fate be linked to a confrontation on the train? As Dorothy and Alan unravel the secrets surrounding the dead man, they uncover disturbingly dark truths . . .

This twisty, engaging mystery featuring an Anglophile sleuth is perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton and Faith Martin.
