What makes this book different from the others in the series to me is that in the other books I read mainly for the mystery and not for the rest of the plot。 This is probably because all though I found them very enjoyable I found the characters slightly annoying。 For this book it is different because I not only enjoyed the suspense and mystery but also the characters。 My favourite in the series so far。 Definitely recommend。

Another fantastic book in the Adventures on Trains series。 This time， Hal and Uncle Nat - now well-recognised for their detective endeavours across the world - are invited to Germany to help solve a mystery。 Hal's interest in trains is a huge benefit to him here but he must disguise his detective abilities （which also means his art） to help crack the case。 I loved the setting and the number of younger characters in this too。 I also really enjoyed the historical references （Cold War） and literary Another fantastic book in the Adventures on Trains series。 This time， Hal and Uncle Nat - now well-recognised for their detective endeavours across the world - are invited to Germany to help solve a mystery。 Hal's interest in trains is a huge benefit to him here but he must disguise his detective abilities （which also means his art） to help crack the case。 I loved the setting and the number of younger characters in this too。 I also really enjoyed the historical references （Cold War） and literary references （Faust）。 As always in the series， the illustrations are simply stunning。 Thank you M。 G。 Leonard and Sam Sedgman for a super series。 It goes from strength to strength！ 。。。more

Another great adventure with Hal and Uncle Nat。This time they travel to Dead Mans Pass， a place as deadly as it sounds。 There is intrigue， mystery， deception and thrills in this fast paced adventure。Thank you to M G Leonard and Sam Sedgman for this exciting sequel。 I’ve read three out of the four adventures now and this one certainly doesn’t disappoint！ Great illustrations too。

I was absolutely delighted to be accepted on Net Galley to read and review this title; I am a huge fan of the ‘Adventures on Trains’ series and have loved the first 3 stories。 This one did not disappoint and I could barely put it down。 From the beginning I was hooked， wanting to solve the mystery and， as usual， I enjoyed the twists and turns along the way。 Even though all of the books in the series have the same main characters and themes， they are all different enough to make them each an enjoy I was absolutely delighted to be accepted on Net Galley to read and review this title; I am a huge fan of the ‘Adventures on Trains’ series and have loved the first 3 stories。 This one did not disappoint and I could barely put it down。 From the beginning I was hooked， wanting to solve the mystery and， as usual， I enjoyed the twists and turns along the way。 Even though all of the books in the series have the same main characters and themes， they are all different enough to make them each an enjoyable read on their own。 I also absolutely love the illustrations， they add so much to the （already brilliant） writing。 I have to say I think that this one was my favourite so far and I have already preordered the next in the series！ 。。。more

As soon as you read the authors' dedication page you know that this isn't going to be your typical train story。MG Leonard and Sam Sedgman take Hal and Uncle Nat on another adventure。 This time however the adventure is planned as Nat has been invited to travel by train to help solve a mystery。 This is a story about deception， about detective work， the importance of learning other languages， about friendship and family， about secrets and codes， and most importantly about trains。 The artwork of Eli As soon as you read the authors' dedication page you know that this isn't going to be your typical train story。MG Leonard and Sam Sedgman take Hal and Uncle Nat on another adventure。 This time however the adventure is planned as Nat has been invited to travel by train to help solve a mystery。 This is a story about deception， about detective work， the importance of learning other languages， about friendship and family， about secrets and codes， and most importantly about trains。 The artwork of Elisa Paganelli is exquisite and adds so much to the story， especially as the reader imagines that it is Hal that I'd the artist himself。 Hal who clearly has great talent。 When this book comes out in paperback I will be buying a copy so I can read my trainloving son this at bedtime。 。。。more

This series just keeps getting better。 Another train journey turns into another adventure for Harrison Beck and his Uncle Nathaniel Bradshaw。 This time there’s a curse， disguises， intrigue， a cast of suspicious characters and a windswept mountain castle with its own private train line。 More of the action takes place in the castle rather than on a train this time， and there are a lot of characters to remember， but a very satisfying mystery to unravel。 The illustrations are beautiful， and really a This series just keeps getting better。 Another train journey turns into another adventure for Harrison Beck and his Uncle Nathaniel Bradshaw。 This time there’s a curse， disguises， intrigue， a cast of suspicious characters and a windswept mountain castle with its own private train line。 More of the action takes place in the castle rather than on a train this time， and there are a lot of characters to remember， but a very satisfying mystery to unravel。 The illustrations are beautiful， and really add to the text。 I will definitely be reading the next book in the series！ Hopefully it won’t be too long until the next adventure。 。。。more
