When Robert Pomeroy, a young undergraduate at Corpus Christi College, finds a letter slipped under his door in the early hours of a rainy day, he flies into a panic. He hurries to the railway station. But he doesn’t reach his destination alive.
Inspector Colbeck and Sergeant Leeming are called upon to investigate this tragedy on the railway. It soon becomes apparent that Cambridge’s hopes of success in the forthcoming boat race rested on Pomeroy’s shoulders.
With academic disputes, romantic interests and a sporting rivalry with Oxford in play, the railway detective will have his work cut out to disentangle the threads of Pomeroy’s life in order to answer the truth of his death.

Despite the passable plot, the highly questionable narration made this a difficult listen for me. Madeline's accent has changed so dramatically from the previous books that it feels as though a whole new character has been introduced. The same goes for the junior detective, Alan Hinton. While I usually don't mind a narrator adding their own "flair" to a reading, these types of changes affect how the entire character and their role in the story is viewed. I wish the narrator had stayed true to the previous renditions.
Distractingly inaccurate narration
