Catch the train if you dare....

After a teenage boy is found dead on a Lenchester train, Detective Chief Inspector Whitney Walker believes they’re being targeted by the notorious Carriage Killer, who chooses a local rail network, commits four murders, and moves on.

Against her wishes, Walker’s boss brings in officers from another force to help the investigation and prevent more deaths, but she’s forced to defend her team against this outside interference.

Forensic psychologist, Dr. Georgina Cavendish, is by her side in an attempt to bring to an end this killing spree. But how can they get into the mind of a killer who has already killed 12 times in two years without leaving behind a single clue?

For fans of Rachel Abbott, L J Ross, and Angela Marsons, Death Track is the third in the Cavendish & Walker series. A gripping serial killer thriller that will have you hooked.

Includes a special bonus note from the author.

What the critics say

"Narrator Clare Corbett flawlessly creates the accents and setting of Lenchester, England, while introducing Detective Chief Inspector Whitney Walker and her polar opposite, psychologist Georgina Cavendish.... Corbett's best creation is pathologist Clare Dexter whose eccentricities add a bit of levity. The well-rendered step-by-step procedural, with its gripping conclusion, makes for an exceptional listen." (AudioFile Magazine, review of Cavendish & Walker)

I am getting tired of the attitude of main characters you get the point you would like to smack them. I am also upset that they miss checking whom they talk to and IDs

The first two books in the 'Cavendish & Walker' series are imperfect but effective at delivering keep-you-guessing entertainment. Pleasingly, this entry continues Sally Rigby's pattern of capable writing, "decent" plotting, and character development efforts (many of which admittedly fall flat for me).
Unfortunately, some scenes in this one are uncharacteristically drawn out (parents identifying their child's body, for example), the character exposition for the protagonists ('George' & 'Whitney') is particularly klunky, and Rigby reveals the motivations for the murderer ⅓ of the way into the novel for some reason.. transforming the book into a straight "find-the-killer" procedural with few "mystery" elements (inadvertantly?).

Solidly on the "Pro" side of the Pro/Con ledger, however: Clare Corbett provides the best reading performance that I have heard from her. To be certain, she continues the occasional oddly cartoonish "husky" male character interpretations, but they aren't intrusive in this recording. Corbett is definitely a narrator that I will look for in future.

'Death Track' rates 6.5 stars out of 10. I won't personally be continuing with the series, but you wouldn't be crazy to do so. This installment was a serviceable distraction as part of the 'Plus' catalog - but unlikely to be worth a Credit should they ask for one.

Disappointing
