We live in an old station master's house, right next to the railway, and of
course it's fascinating. So I was surprised when I didn't immediately take
to the Marston. I might try them again another time, but I'll also add
Colbeck to the list, thanks Shell.

I have enjoyed some of the Robert Colbeck series too, set on the railways.
However, I gave up on Nicholas Bracewell, just couldn't get into it. Mind
you, I am pretty down on stories set in and round the theatre and theatrical
people. Not sure why, but it's just one of those situations that I don't
enjoy. So, it's quite likely that I didn't give the book a fair chance.
