Danger at Dead Man's Pass (Adventures on Train)

Product Information

Though, unlike previous books where I only worked it out at the last moment, this time I honed in on the culprit straight away. If I could add one small caveat with this book then it would be that there are too many characters, which made things confusing, and quite a lot of them are similarly named also. As soon as you read the authors' dedication page you know that this isn't going to be your typical train story.

Hal and his Uncle Nat are back in their fourth adventure, Danger at Dead Man's Pass, and I couldn't have been more excited!Dl4 uit een reeks maar prima los te lezen: Treindetective Harrison Beck (Hal) heeft geen tijd om rustig zijn paasvakantie te vieren, want samen met zijn oom Nat is hij uitgenodigd om onderzoek te doen naar een mysterieuze dood. This is the first mystery that wasn't set on a train, centering around an unusual German family and a Baskerville-style legend of a witch lurking in the darkness of the cliffs. I liked the twists this one had to it, including wondering if there was going to be a fantasy element, or would it be explained?

There are still a lot of trains, but once Hal and Nat get to the castle, a lot of time is spent in it, moving around the old house and grounds. Op den duur begon ik me een idee te vormen van wie erachter zat, en ik bleek uiteindelijk ook gelijk te hebben, maar veel meer dan een vaag gevoel was het niet en ik had totaal niet zien aankomen waarom het die persoon was.As ever there are great titbits of information on trains that add to the story as do the brilliant illustrations by Elisa Paganelli. A curse, a very strange family, a missing will, witches, a spooky castle and a steam train gave great background to the story which was as always beautifully illustrated by Elisa Paganelli. There's a family which is out of the ordinary - the Kratzensteins to get to know, including working out their curse, which sends readers on a thrilling action-packed mystery to get their teeth into and solve. Harrison Beck undertakes another locomotive mystery in the fourth instalment of Leonard and Sedgman’s thrilling Adventures on Trains series, as a cursed family of railway tycoons high in the German mountains makes for a sinister supernatural mystery. She now lives and works in UK as a freelance Illustrator and Creative Designer, accompanied by her beloved pets.
