About this listen
It is the spring of 1923 and the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple is on her way to a stately home in Scotland to research her next article for Town and Country. On board the Flying Scotsman, the famous London-to-Edinburgh train, Daisy meets an old schoolfellow, Anne Bretton. Anne, along with all of her relatives, is en route to visit the deathbed of the family scion and notorious miser, Alistair McGowan. As it currently stands, Alistair's will leaves the entire family fortune to his brother Albert, and the rest of the family is rushing to his side, each hoping to convince him to change his will in their favor.
Daisy, meanwhile, has her hands full taking care of Detective Inspector Alec Fletcher's young daughter Belinda, who ran away from home and stowed away aboard the train. She barely has time to take notice of the intricate family feud taking place all around her - that is, until Albert McGowan is found murdered on the train and Daisy is surrounded by an entire family of suspects.

narration nil!!
These books are light and fun but why do the publishers insist on using Americans to read British stories. Terrible narration!

Awful American Accent
For a story set in the UK, I find it hard to comprehend why you would use an American narrator. In addition, some of the pronunciations were just painful. I skipped 10 chapters in the middle as I couldn’t cope with much more.

Love the train
A good light historical mystery with a great setting on a famous steam train. I also loved the development in the main characters relationship.
This series improves as it goes on.

Good story but………
A different narrator with this book but, yet again, dreadful pronunciation and lack of knowledge about British dialects

Fun as usual, history and a cast of characters
Enjoyable listen, a plummy voice, accents aplenty and a resourceful and kind heroine. Light read despite the murder.

terrible performance
I think the story was probably okay, but the performance was so bad it has overshadowed it. I will be certain to skip any books read by this person. I certainly had to skip chapters to reach the end of this story.
As an American she had no clue about the pronunciation of English place names. She even read the text in the story which described how Berwick is pronounced Berrick, then went on saying Burwick.
Her attempts at English accents were embarrassing - she had no clue about regional or class accents of the period and her efforts really grated. She seemed to think a faintly Cockney accent was suitable for an upper middle class child.
I know she was dropped at some point so I will have to look for the narrator who replaced her and miss any books in between.

Narration so bad it’s almost comical
A pretty good mystery ruined by some of the worst narration I think I’ve ever heard - Scottish accents especially bad - wavering from American to cockney to Australian ?!?

Pronounce the place names properly!
Great story but place names incorrectly pronounced very distracting. The series is most enjoyable - characters good.

classic train mystery
Fun listen. Good Scottish accents. Relaxing adventure with lots of period detail about shell shock.
