About this deal

The story begins with a lot of snow, which is always good for a Christmas set mystery, though this is not such good news for the various passengers travelling third class on Christmas Eve from London. The few paranormal aspects to this were just the right amount to lend a certain spookiness to the story while not stretching my credulity too far. Several passengers take shelter in a deserted country house, where the fire has been lit and the table laid for tea--but no one is at home. Passengers are on their way to holiday gatherings on a train traveling from London to the countryside.

Framing the Guilty Party: At the end the official version of events the police go with puts the blame for all the murders on Smith the Cockney, even though he was only responsible for 2 of them. However walking in unfamiliar countryside without a map and very little visibility is easier said than done.Ich habe permanent mitgerätselt und Theorien aufgestellt, die am Ende jedoch durch eine tolle und komplexe Aufklärung durchweg wiederlegt wurden. The horror on the train, great though it may turn out to be, will not compare with the horror that exists here, in this house .

Most of the action thereafter is described in conversation rather than as it takes place but still the momentum is kept up and the mystery becomes more mysterious.

It’s a setup that leaves scant room for law enforcement officers or for Kyle Westergaard, the 12-year-old paperboy damaged since birth by fetal alcohol syndrome, who’s walked away from the wreck with a prize all too many people would kill for.
