About this listen

Mayhem all aboard!

One blustery day in October of 1924, newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Basil Reed travel aboard the recently christened Flying Scotsman, a high-speed steam engine train that travels from London to Edinburgh, for their honeymoon. With only one short stop at York, Ginger anticipates time with her new husband will fly by.

She’s wrong. Something terrible has happened in the Royal Mail carriage, which forces the train to stop dead in its tracks. There’s been a death and Chief Inspector Reed has been asked to investigate.

It’s a uniquely disturbing murder and Ginger and Basil are eager to puzzle it out together. What do the first class passengers have to do with the dead man? With another crime shortly discovered, Ginger and Basil soon realize they’re not dealing with a run-of-the-mill killer - they’re dealing with a mastermind who’s not done playing with them yet.

Researching for the Ginger Gold Mysteries has been so much fun. I hope you sense that as you listen. Ginger Gold is smart, savvy, and delightful. The fashions, the dances, the crime. Never fear, the Ginger Gold Mysteries are cozy, so no scary, graphic on-stage violence. You'll find these audiobooks to be clean listens, with no swearing or sex. I hope you enjoy the Ginger Gold Mystery series!

Good mystery

Book 8 of the Ginger Gold series kept me guessing. I could not figure out who the criminals were until the very end when Ginger explained what was going on. So good story, with some romance thrown in, also. Wonderful accents and voices done by the narrator Elizabeth Klett. Well worth listening to.

Fun Cozy Mysteries

Lee Strauss books are short and easy reads or listening. She is well versed in 1920s England and America and I have enjoyed all her books to date.
