Crimes on the Railway

During our last visit at the National Railway Museum in York, I was like a kid in a candy store, even worse than Wolfie would be. So I bought a lot of stuff in the souvenirs shops. The museum has two: one more aimed for children, one for adults. They have a a lot of books on sales, a lot of educational ones and a rather impressive section of train themed crime fiction novels (a sub-genre in itself). The usual suspects/classics, but also modern ones. One of them, The Train from Platform 2, caught Wolfie's eyes for some reason and he suggested that I buy it. Not sure why this book in partivular, I think because it's set in the London Underground, something that fascinates him. My hands were already full of books, mugs and trinkets, so I thought I had enough for now (especially since books are heavy to carry), but I took this picture as a reminder. I will either buy it, or put it on my Christmas or birthday list. Two things to take from this anecdote: 1)the NRM is really, really, really, my favourite museum in the world, and 2)my son knows me so very well.
