Murder on the Safari Star (Adventures on Train)

Product Information

Hal, who was outside the room at the time, doesn't believe it was an accident, but he'll have to prove it, if anyone is going to believe him. The investigation begins. I would absolutely recommend this series to Readers of all ages. The books are always engaging and fast-paced, with a great group of characters and wonderful illustrations. I became quite invested in certain characters and felt my heart-rate rising as they fell under suspicion. It was gripping until the very end.

Murder on the Safari Star (Adventures on Trains Book 3)

We also got a teeeeeeeny sneak peek at the next book and I think it will be another corker - I'm liking the set up already.The main reason we love this series is that it's a mystery on a train - and this one does not disappoint. The mystery in this can be rather baffling at first but as Hal figures more things out, I really felt myself start to become a detective. Having said that, I still wasn't sure what the outcome would be, or who was behind it all, and I think Leonard & Sedgman played the game very well in leading me off certain character scents. Murder on the Safari Star can be read as a stand-alone novel, or enjoyed as part of the Adventures on Trains series. Join Hal and Uncle Nat on more stops in this thrilling series, with: The Highland Falcon Thief, Kidnap on the California Comet, Danger at Dead Man's Pass and Sabotage on the Solar Express.

Was het moord of is het een gruwelijk ongeluk?

The safari element felt great as well – really respectful of the animals and explaining about hunting and endangered species. And I obviously loved Chipo, as he’s adorable! Wat hierbij nog een leuk detail is, is dat Alex ook zijn tekenkwaliteiten ontwikkeld. De tekeningen, gemaakt door Elisa Paganelli, worden in het verhaal geplaatst als zijnde dat Alex ze zelf tekent. Hij gebruikt deze tekeningen onder andere om de zaken op te lossen. In Gevaar op safari krijgt Alex voor kerst ander tekenmateriaal waar hij tijdens de treinreis mee gaat oefenen. Door alle ontwikkelingen in de spanning en in het hoofdpersonage is het boek erg prettig om te lezen.Zal Alex deze zaak weer weten op de lossen, of is de recherche die dit keer aan boort is, sneller dan hem? I felt that this was a little more contrived than the first two, but only in the sense that the crime feels a little engineered. Which is forgivable, as I doubt the series would work if Hal and Nat just went for a plain old train ride ;) Aside from all that, it was great to see Hal work his magic on another mystery. And also to see a friend that was less than convinced (at least at first!) by his snooping, and to see a detective who respects his skills.

I've talked before about the Adventures On Trains series before (reviewing The Highland Falcon Thief and Kidnap on the California Comet and loving them both intensely) and so, when Macmillan sent me a review copy of Murder On The Safari Star, I was incredibly excited. It's a brilliant series. I have pretty much negative interest in trains (I mean, I just do not find them remotely interesting) and yet here I am, living and loving every inch of this series. PDF / EPUB File Name: Murder_on_the_Safari_Star_-_M_G_Leonard.pdf, Murder_on_the_Safari_Star_-_M_G_Leonard.epub A high-speed train journey worth catching . . .The best yet' - The Times on Murder on the Safari StarIk had zo mijn vermoedens over wie hét gedaan had, na een tijdje, en ik bleek gelijk te krijgen ook, al wist ik niet waarom. Maar hoe je het ook draait of keert: zoals gewoonlijk gaat het in elk geval weer om een heleboel details die uiteindelijk één grote, volledige puzzel vormen. En dat is natuurlijk wel de bedoeling, dat is ook wat ik in dit verhaal verwachtte en wilde. The cast of characters were fantastically written (as usual) and honestly it made me feel like I was watching an episode of Columbo (I mean that in the best way possible) where you think you know who the guilty party is but then the story takes a massive turn and your assumptions are right but 100% wrong.
