Having decided on Canada as their best bet for a clean start with their new baby, Nat and Abigail set off on the journey – along with Jake. But there isn’t a transcontinental train, so they all need to get back into America to get to the West coast.
Catching a night train headed over the mountains, they find it’s an upgraded train, designed to allow passengers to sleep through the remote areas. English butlers going west to join a new employment agency fill most of the train, with hopes of making their fortunes.
While the train gets stuck because of a rock fall, it is discovered that a fellow traveller has been attacked and robbed in the night. The trio decide to solve the case as incoming help is delayed – and they wish to remain as anonymous as possible. Unwittingly, they unravel an international mystery; one which surely they cannot escape the consequences of solving. It seems nothing is simple.
The fourth book in the series is set within a new environment, and again the characters find that working together is the path to success. With a true cliffhanger ending, this is a book that I cannot wait to read the follow up!
I award 5 stars.
