Ghost Train

Clyde Tranter and his wife have renovated a derelict villa and former college in the north Midlands as their new home, but almost straight away Clyde notices strange things happening around the house. Could they be related to the brutal murders that once took place there? Or is something else going on? Who is the attractive blonde woman on the platform of the closed local station, and where do the mysterious trains that stop there come from? As Clyde explores these mysteries, he also investigates questions about his own life and future and those of his friends, about the forgotten recent past and their relationship to it, and about what is real.Emily Tellwright's contemporary fantasy Ghost Train has elements of the thriller, the historical murder mystery, time travel and the paranormal. It is an entertaining and often humorous literary work that would appeal to anyone drawn to cosy paranormal, village or bookshop mysteries but wanting something a little deeper, darker and more adult. It also explores life in a quirky and often-overlooked region of England. It is ultimately an uplifting book. Great for lovers of Kawaguchi's Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
