A Dangerous Train Of Thought (Val & Arbie Mysteries #3) Release Date: January 15, 2026

Published

A brand new Golden Age cosy crime mystery from the multi-million-copy bestseller Faith Martin.

‘A masterfully constructed pageturner of a murder mystery. Clever, compelling, and intriguing. An excellent read’ T.A. Williams

‘Hugely entertaining with an ingenious solution! I loved it!’ Clare Chase

Yorkshire, 1926. Gentleman ghost-hunter Arbuthnot ‘Arbie’ Swift and his old friend Val arrive at Cleeves Lea Manor, looking forward to the promise of a lavish weekend party.

The lady of the house, an avid reader of Arbie’s books, is eager to show him off to her distinguished guests. Amidst the festivities, Arbie is also tasked with investigating rumours of a ‘ghost train spitting fire’ for the third instalment of the increasingly popular (to Arbie’s great surprise) Gentleman’s Guide to Ghost-hunting.

But when the guests start dying, Arbie instead finds himself thrust into the middle of a murder investigation. With time running out, will he and Val be able to uncover the truth?

‘Suspicious notes, a lethal hat pin and a body in the library … As far as I’m concerned Faith Martin is the Grand Dame of Country House Crime!’ J. M. Hall

‘A charming, cleverly-constructed caper, chock-full of captivating characters. I loved it’ Matt Dunn
