* Murder on the Railways *

[John Ashworth]

I can recommend Murder on the Railways, edited by Peter Haining. It's a collection of short stories by well-known crime authors, including Agatha Christie, Georges Simenon, Patricia Highsmith, Dorothy Sayers, Ruth Rendell, Elmore Leonard and Ken Follett. They all contain some connection to railways (some more so than others), and they're all about crime, albeit not all murder. Some of these stories are old and unusual, and some have been out of print for decades. A thoroughly enjoyable book. I got my paperback version for R123 from Exclusive Books.
