About this audiobook
Dorothy Martin's husband, a local police inspector, is out of town. On a trip to London for a doctor's appointment, Dorothy talks to a young man who, by the time the train reaches Victoria Station, is very dead. No one seems to think anything is amiss and the man who told her he was a doctor and would take care of everything seems to have done just that. The body has disappeared. Dorothy has a mystery on her hands and, with her husband in Zimbabwe, there's nothing to do but begin an investigation. She insinuates herself onto the staff of a computer software company and discovers not only a surprising killer but the lengths to which someone might go for the sake of a dream.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5At the end of a train journey terminating in London's Victoria Station, Dorothy Martin discovers the body of a man who had died en route, seemingly of a heart attack. Assuming that the doctor on the scene was going to report the death to the authorities, Dorothy hurries on to a medical appointment. When Dorothy fails to read anything in the newspapers about the death, and a police inquiry reveals that no deaths have been reported on trains for months, Dorothy becomes suspicious that the man has been murdered. With the help of her friends Nigel, Tom, and Lynn, Dorothy discovers a link to the London office of a computer firm and goes undercover as a temp worker to investigate its employees, one of whom she suspects is the murderer.Even though this book is almost 10 years old, the computer references weren't as dated as I thought they might be. The descriptions of applications and hardware are general enough that they still work. I didn't care for all the lies Dorothy told in the book -- to the police, to her friend and neighbor Jane, and to her husband who was out of town on a business trip. Oddly enough, no one seems to get angry with Dorothy for lying to them. In real life, I think her personal relationships would suffer as a consequence of her deception.
