Death on the Trans-Siberian Express (available here) is the first of several Olga Pushkin mysteries coming out with Constable/Little, Brown. The hardback was Book of the Month in December 2021 at Goldsboro Books, and was a Waterstones Best New Fiction and Best Crime Hardback pick. The paperback is out now, together with the hardback of the second book, Blood on the Siberian Snow (order here).
'A quirky and colourful investigation that reveals the corruption and tragicomic antics of Putin's kleptocratic state. Favourite line: 'Russian stories always end in sorrow.'
Mark Sanderson, The Times
“The book is an absolute delight, evocative equally of frozen steppes, bad vodka and worse sausage, and full of larger than life characters. Olga Pushkin is an endearing protagonist, who is hopefully set for a series as long as the Trans Siberian Railway."
L.C. Tyler, novelist and Chair of the Crime Writers' Association
"This intriguing but charming murder mystery is packed with psychological depth and wonderfully-drawn characters."
Eleanor Ray, author of Everything is Beautiful
