For this week's Can't Wait Wednesday hosted by Tressa at the book blog, Wishful Endings, I'm featuring, The Corpse on the Bristol Train, by Edward Marston. It says this is the "grand finale" of the series. The cover reminds me of an old fashioned mystery novel like those in the British Classic Crime series. Set in Victorian England with a male detective lead it also sounds a lot like the Anne Perry books I love.
In this story, a young woman is found dead on a train when it stops in Bristol and the detectives must untangle who she is, why she died, and who she was traveling with.

Book description courtesy of Goodreads:
On the last train of the day London Paddington to Bristol, a young woman drifts into what appears to be a peaceful sleep - only to be discovered dead on arrival. With no sign of violence and no clue to her identity, the case threatens scandal for the Great Western Railway. Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck and Sergeant Victor Leeming are sent to uncover the truth behind the silent corpse.
All witnesses agree on one she travelled with a devoted husband who vanished into the night. As the trail leads through railway stations, theatres and dark deception, Colbeck must expose a killer who hides behind superficial charm.
