NOTES
Read by Bethan Rose Young
Myrtle Hardcastle has no desire to go on a relaxing holiday excursion with her aunt Helena when there are More Important things to be done at home, like keeping close tabs on criminals and murder trials. Unfortunately, the twelve-year-old aspiring detective has no say in the matter. So off Myrtle goes-with her governess, Miss Judson, and cat, Peony, in tow-on a fabulous private railway coach headed for the English seaside. But before the train reaches its destination, Myrtle and Peony discover a dead body in the baggage car. Someone has been murdered-with Aunt Helena's sewing shears. The train trip is derailed, the local police are inept, and Scotland Yard is in no rush to arrive. What's a smart, bored Young Lady of Quality stranded in a washed-up carnival town to do but follow the evidence to find out which of her fellow travelers is a thief and a murderer?
