Murder on the Haunted Express




All aboard the most gripping murder mystery of the year - a deliciously spooky crime novel set aboard a fast-moving, supposedly haunted train. Perfect for fans of Tom Hindle, Agatha Christie and Anthony Horowitz.

All aboard for the most gripping mystery of the year. Eight passengers board the train. Will any of them survive the journey?

When ex-detective Midge McGowan embarks on a sleeper train to Scotland, she's hoping for a nice relaxing trip to enjoy the snowy highlands. Instead, the journey quickly turns into a nightmare.

There's a priceless piece of art on board that's rumoured to be cursed. One of the passengers is a mysterious prisoner on release from jail, who won't speak to anyone and remains locked in his cabin, with a guard posted on the door. And then the lights go out, the train stops, and someone turns up dead.

Their body is found inside a locked carriage – with no way in or out – so how was the crime committed? Is this really the work of a ghost? Or has one of the guests just pulled off the perfect murder? The only thing Midge knows for sure is that not all of them will reach their destination alive...

Praise for Emma Mason

A delightfully engaging debut, starring one of the most amusing and unusual sleuths I’ve come across. Best enjoyed with a nice glass of sherry!

Tess Gerritsen, internationally bestselling author of Rizzoli & Isles, and the Martini Club series

A delightful debut! The characters leap off the page, especially the perpetually misunderstood detective Midge, and the spooky mystery will keep you guessing.

Antony Johnston, author of Can You Solve the Murder?

Quirky and fun that also strays into the eerie. I was thrilled, beguiled and completely captured by this cracking whodunnit.

Jonathan Whitelaw, author of The Bingo Hall Detectives
