I’ve had three interesting encounters with Marston. I read The Railway Detective first, which came out in 2005, but I had no idea what to make of the book. I didn’t dislike it, but the dialog was very expository. Then I jumped to The Wolves of Savernake, which came out in 1995, a decade earlier, and loved it.
Marston’s descriptions of nature were incredible. It felt every word as opposed to simply reading it. Eventually, I read The Excursion Train from 2006, which did a decent job of describing Victorian England’s culture and traditions.
Now, I’ve backtracked to The Railway Detective. With my newfound understanding of Marston’s approach to storytelling, I am curious to see if my opinion of The Railway Detective changes.
Just discovered the Railway Detective series and working through it via Inter Library loans. Look forward to reading the other series assuming I can find the books somewhere!
