Mord im Christmas Express

Eighteen passengers. Seven stops. One killer. As half of Britain disappears under a thick blanket of snow, the Christmas Express winds its way through the picturesque Scottish Highlands. But suddenly, the winter idyll comes to a jarring halt: one of the travelers on board is playing a deadly game and is not satisfied with just one victim. A Christmas mystery as Agatha Christie would write it today: thrilling, original, and absolutely contemporary.

It’s Christmas Eve. At the last moment, retired police officer Roz catches her night train. Luckily, because she absolutely must arrive on time from London to Fort William in Scotland – just in time for the birth of her granddaughter. On board with her are a young influencer, a narcissistic reality TV star, a quick-witted elderly lady with her cat, a dysfunctional family, and Craig, who strikes a new chord with Roz. Then, the train suddenly gets stuck in the heavy snowfall. And while the birth at home becomes increasingly dramatic, a murder occurs on board the train, reopening old wounds for Roz. The luxurious sleeper car turns into a claustrophobic prison for everyone involved. Who will be next, and will Roz be able to prevent it in time?

“A gripping homage to the Golden Age of crime fiction, with a touch of Poirot and a dark, modern heart.” - S. J. Bennett
