A snowbound train. A murder no one saw coming. And a former detective with one last case. On this Christmas Eve, the holiday cheer ends in blood.

From acclaimed author Alexandra Benedict comes Murder on the Christmas Express, a chilling holiday locked-room mystery that blends golden-age suspense with a sharp, modern edge. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Ruth Ware, and Tana French.

As the sleeper train to the Scottish Highlands plows into a blizzard and grinds to a halt, former Met Detective Roz Parker realizes the real danger isn't outside. It's onboard.

When a passenger is found dead, Roz is pulled into one final case. But time is running out. With the passengers trapped, cut off, and surrounded by secrets, someone is hiding a deadly truth.

This isn't the Christmas journey they planned. It's a race to uncover a killer before another passenger falls.

Praise for Murder on the Christmas Express:

"Strong prose and a bevy of plausible suspects keep things intriguing. Readers willing to embrace this Christmas story's jagged edges are in for a ripping mystery."-- Publishers Weekly
