Its March 1914, and Jim Stringer is uneasy about his next assignment.

Its not so much the prospect of a Scarborough lodging house in the gloomy off-season that bothers him, or even the fact that the last railwayman to stay in the house has disappeared without trace. Its more that his governor, Chief Inspector Saul Weatherhill, seems to be deliberately holding back details of the case - and that hes been sent to Scarborough with a trigger-happy assistant.

The lodging house is called Paradise, but, as Jim discovers, its hardly that in reality. It is, however, home to the seductive and beautiful Amanda Rickerby, a woman evidently capable of derailing Jims marriage - and a good deal more besides.

As a storm brews in Scarborough, it becomes increasingly unlikely that Jim will ever ride the train back to York.

Like all the Jim Stringer adventures, The Last Train to Scarborough bewitches with its detail, dry humour and laid-back ruminations, but the strangeness of the plot and the originality of the murder method puts this latest book into a weird class of its own.Observer
