Danger at Dead Man's Pass (Adventures on Train)

Product Information

As in previous books, this one combined a thrilling story and a classic denouement at the end with lots of interesting facts as Uncle Nat and Hal travel across Europe. Wildly funny, with hairpin plot bends and inventive characters, this series is firmly on track to become a bestseller. However, the genius of this series is in the originality of the way the crimes are committed, the excellent cast of suspects to choose from and (my personal favourite) the feeling of being swept off on a spectacular train journey to discover yet another fascinating corner of the world. Check out the blurb and my review as well as other praise from prominent and famous children's authors and press. Absolutely blown away by Uncle Nat’s revelation… but love to think where this is going to take these stories.

Embark on a thrilling fourth adventure in the bestselling, prize-winning Adventures on Trains series - Danger in Dead Man's Pass, from M.There's a scene at the end, for example, that is just deliciously tense nailbiting stuff and normally I'd be all 'yeah, whatever' but because it's written by Leonard and Sedgman, it is BRILLIANT. There's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes in terms of plot, structure, and simply getting everybody into the right place at the right time. Join Hal and Uncle Nat on more stops in this thrilling series with: The Highland Falcon Thief, Kidnap on the California Comet, Murder on the Safari Star and Sabotage on the Solar Express. So, I highly recommend this thrilling train journey that chuffs on with speed and much excitement that will get the adrenaline pumping so much, children will be so curious as to how it can all possibly end and then want some more! The old family home (more of a castle, with a train station inside) is big enough to hide many secrets.

Of ja, toch wel, één klein dingetje: er werd naar de Franse taal met 'Français' verwezen - dat moet natuurlijk 'français' zijn. After ‘escalating’ from a jewel theft, to a kidnapping and then a murder in the first 3 books, I wasn’t sure where they could go next.

After completing artistic studies she made a career in advertising and has been the founder and owner of a small award winning design and trade business. The answer to the mystery seemed pretty basic, although this time I was so confused trying to keep up with the characters I didn't have time to try and piece together clues to the mystery.

This book, more so than the previous ones, felt like the authors were changing up the formula slightly.The writing is excellent and the mysteries are complex enough to make you really think with red herrings aplenty. I haven't read middle grade since I was a child, so was very apprehensive going into this series, but as I am a huge mystery fan, and they came so highly recommended, I decided to give them a go. A mysterious letter from an old friend asks Hal and Uncle Nat to help investigate a spooky supernatural mystery.

Whilst Hal and Nat did travel to reach the crime scene and trains were still a key component of the story, I did miss the element of a crime occurring on a train and needing to be solved before it reaches its final destination. This time, Hal and Uncle Nat find themselves investigating an ancient family curse, a missing will, and a witch who is said to prowl the railway line at Dead Man's Pass. I am so glad I picked up the first book on a whim early in 2020, because I have devoured every entry so far. She works as a freelance Digital Media Producer for clients such as the National Theatre, and Harry Potter West End, and previously worked as a Senior Digital Producer at the National Theatre, the Royal Opera House and Shakespeare’s Globe. There's a family curse, a spooky mountain, a healthy amount of Faust, and it's just thick, solid adventure from that point on.Embark on a thrilling fourth adventure in the bestselling, prize-winning Adventures on Trains series – Danger at Dead Man’s Pass, from M. This is a story about deception, about detective work, the importance of learning other languages, about friendship and family, about secrets and codes, and most importantly about trains. Ultimately that didn't really stop us from enjoying the book, but I think the final details when Hal explains things were somewhat lost on us as we weren't clear even then who was who.
