- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5From Goodreads: "1860, Wimborne, Dorset. Rebecca Tullidge, miserably married to her callous husband, is having an affair with a railway officer, who she finds dead on the railway tracks.Determined to win votes for the upcoming election of mayor, Mr Feltham calls for Inspector Colbeck and Sergeant Lemming to solve the hideous crime, which takes longer than anticipated.With a pregnant wife at home, Colbeck must work at speed if he is to return in time to be there when he becomes a father."Colbeck finds love letters from three different women proving the railway officer was having affairs w/ several married women: one, a sailor's wife found herself pregnant and committed suicide.There was no lack of suspects, but I really got confused at the end.... trying to figure out where the clue was that pointed out the murderer.For once Sargent Leeming was not a whining cry baby, and Tallis was actually very helpful. As always I skipped the parts with Colbeck's father-in-law.
