Jane Grosz and her wife Helen, embarked on the delayed 2.25 from Euston. In the carriage with them was a mother and child. An elderly grandmother, some university students, and two rowdy lads. When the train arrives at Birmingham New Street, the child's iPad is missing, and all hell has broken loose. Can Jane Grosz (nee Marple), solve the mystery, prevent the innocent from being arrested, and stop her wife - "The Matriarch" - from rolling her eyes?

Taking place between the events of "The Case of the Fallen Tycoon" and "Once, Twice, Thrice Fraud", this anthology of stories set amongst the Holmes & Watson universe gives readers an insight into some of the minor, but wonderful characters who've appeared alongside our favourite heroes. From the detailed casebooks of Grant Potten as he considers the difference between gay men in London to New York; to Damien and Julian, and their journey to have children; to Herc Poirot and insufferable Bears who came to dinner. A treat for any fan of the series.
