The is an account of Granville’s search for the iller(s) of Clive Jackson.. There are many twists and turns as he questions many with relationships with the dead man. Along the way, he meets several people willing to help him.

An interesting mystery describing Vancouver, Canada at the turn of the 19th century. Fascinating, intriquing and an enjoyable read. ( )

It's 1899 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. John Granville has recently arrived from the Klondike and when he meets up with his old buddy, Sam, Sam gets Granville a job guarding a train. A couple of nights later, they find someone murdered and Sam is arrested and held for the murder. Granville is certain Sam didn't do it, but the police think otherwise and aren't looking into alternatives, so Granville does some sleuthing of his own.

I enjoyed this. Historical mysteries are iffy for me, but this was good. It did take a few chapters for me to get “into” it, but it was interesting enough, even at the start, that I backed up to reread what I missed when my mind wandered at first. I enjoyed the mystery and I enjoyed the secondary characters, Trent and Emily, who were helping Granville out. I also enjoyed the setting. It was also a nice quick read. This is the first in a series, and I will pick up the next one, as well. ( )

I was not sure I would like this book because it dragged as the narrative moved on then I got halfway through the book and I couldn't put it down. I have a new author to read. :) ( )

The Silk Train Murder by Sharon Rowse is a historical mystery set in the late 1800s in Vancouver, BC, Canada. John Lansdowne Granville undertakes to clear his friend of murder, gets a client who will pay for him to do so (making him a private detective even though detectives probably weren't licensed at that time), gets beaten up as private detective are prone to do and at the end forms a private detective agency.

This book is not strong on historical atmosphere, but this is Rowse's first book and as such it was quite strong. I intend to read her other one in this series as well. ( )
