WHO IS THE KILLER?
-

SUSPECT 1 - Reverend Arthur Pembroke,
A respected vicar with a troubled conscience. Though devoted to his parish, whispers of missing church valuables and a fondness for drink have begun to tarnish his reputation.
-

SUSPECT 2 - Her Grace, Eleanor Cavendish-Hurst,
An imposing aristocrat fiercely protective of her only daughter. When she discovered the young woman’s romance, she vowed to put an end to it. Was her visit to the station a mother’s warning, or did her refined manners mask something more sinister?
-

SUSPECT 3 - Reginald ‘Reggie’ Cutler,
A well-dressed “businessman” with a reputation for making money in unconventional ways. His dealings often raise questions, and his connections are rarely respectable. What business could possibly have taken him to the station this day?
-

SUSPECT 4 - Jacqui McQuade
A sharp-tongued local journalist always chasing her next big scoop. Her articles on railway mishaps and scandals sell well, but her cosy relationship with staff has raised eyebrows. Was she merely buying stories or was she helping create them?
-

SUSPECT 5 - Bernard Whitcombe
The wealthy but irritable owner of the local brewery. With shipments delayed and profits dwindling after a recent derailment, Whitcombe had much to lose. Was his visit just for business talk or was there more at stake?
-

SUSPECT 6 - Margaret ‘Peggy’ Henshaw,
A bright young secretary at the local motor dealership, with dreams far beyond typewriters and ledgers. Her employer’s rivalry with the railway casts suspicion on her. Was Peggy an innocent caught in the middle, or playing a more dangerous role?
-

DCI Thomas
A sharp-witted detective with a dry sense of humour and a flair for the dramatic, DCI Cash has been tasked with leading the investigation. Known for his quick tongue and unconventional methods, he isn’t afraid to put suspects on the spot or enlist the help of an eager audience to crack the case.

-

DCI Percy
Ever loyal and keen to impress, DCI Percy is Thomas’s trusted aide. A war hero with a sense of humour, Percy offers some comic relief as well as practical support throughout the journey.
