About this audiobook
In the winter of 1942, England lies cold and dark in the wartime blackout. One bleak evening, Councillor Grayling steps off the 6.12 from Euston, carrying £120 in cash, and oblivious to the fate that awaits him in the snow-covered suburbs. Inspector Holly draws up a list of Grayling's fellow passengers: his distrusted employee Charles Evetts, the charming Hugh Rolandson, and an unknown refugee from Nazi Germany, among others. Inspector Holly will soon discover that each passenger harbours their own dark secrets, and that the councillor had more than one enemy among them.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I can't really say too much about the story as I gave up trying to listen by the first chapter. The narrator was awful, completely without inflection or feeling. He might as well have been reading a shopping list for all the emotion he generated. Even when describing the death of the murderee he was totally emontionless. There was no diffentiation of the different characters and franklythe narratorsounded bored. I normally enjoy these stories from a different era but not this one. I gave it two stars becauses it isn't the author fault that I hated the narration.
