Killer on the Kelvin Explorer: early draft reactions

Feedback time! Before my mystery on a train leaves the workshop, I need to make sure it’s the best it can be.

My wonderful and very clever beta readers provided pages and pages of excellent notes. They also left lots of fun reactions as they read through the book. I picked out a few to share here!

(Psst I haven’t included any other notes because they’re full of spoilers and we can’t have that.)

Anyway, it’s back to the workshop for me! But if you want to get the book on release day, you know what you need to do:

Killer on the Kelvin Explorer release date: 9 September 2026.

Addison Harper and Sergeant Jake Murphy are off to a shaky start with their new living situation. So, when Addison has the chance to get out of town and clear his head, he’s quick to climb aboard.

The day’s scenic railway journey features a powerful steam engine pulling lovingly restored heritage carriages. On the train, passengers enjoy dramatic landscapes and endless cups of tea. When it comes to driving Milverton’s tourism, Addison can see they’re already on the right track. Unfortunately, a death en route threatens to derail not only the day’s excursion but any future marketing efforts.

Passengers have been promised an unforgettable day out… and they’re going to get it.
