The Locomotive Lethal

The Locomotive Lethal

Victorian Poirot v1.3

The rhythmic clatter of wheels on rails becomes a funeral dirge as The Royal Scotsman luxury train carries a dark secret through the Scottish Highlands. In his opulent private compartment, industrialist Cornelius Blackwood lies dead—his lips stained an unnatural blue-black, a half-written letter to the Royal College of Physicians abandoned mid-sentence beside his ornate silver fountain pen bearing curious residue. The door was locked from the inside, yet cyanide has done its terrible work.

Six passengers shared this gilded prison on wheels with the deceased: his long-suffering wife Mrs. Blackwood, the attentive Dr. Ashford, the elegant Lady Pembroke, the discreet Mr. Thornhill, the enigmatic Miss Chen, and the stern Captain Hartley. A crumpled threatening note in feminine handwriting discovered in Blackwood's pocket suggests this was no accident. The train hurtles onward through mist-shrouded moors, but the killer remains aboard.

Step into your detective's shoes and interrogate each suspect. Examine the evidence, unravel the lies, and expose the murderer before the Royal Scotsman reaches its final destination. Justice awaits your deduction.
