My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟
Death on the Trans-Siberian Express by C J Farrington is set in Russia, with Olga Pushkn, Railway Engineer (Third Class), who wants more, in this case, to study literature at Tomsk State University, and become a best selling author. But life is a little more boring than that, in a snow, boring village in Russia.
It becomes more exciting when Olga gets knocked over by an American tourist being pushed off a train, and so she becomes involved in the investigation, with the usual problems that a civilian helping the police has.
I enjoyed the story being set somewhere new, with a disappointed heroine trying to make her way in the world. This felt quite like a cosy crime, and as this is labelled as book 1 in places, there are obviously plans for more in the series.
Death on the Trans-Siberian Express was published on 25th November 2021, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Little, Brown Book.
