Murder on the Safari Star (Adventures on Train)

Product Information

The main reason we love this series is that it's a mystery on a train - and this one does not disappoint. The mystery in this can be rather baffling at first but as Hal figures more things out, I really felt myself start to become a detective. Having said that, I still wasn't sure what the outcome would be, or who was behind it all, and I think Leonard & Sedgman played the game very well in leading me off certain character scents. Gevaar op safari is deel drie van de Dader op het spoor serie. Hierin gaat Alex telkens met zijn oom Ben op reis, waar hij de spannendste dingen meemaakt. In de Safari Star wordt de spanning wel erg hoog wanneer blijkt dat er een moord is gepleegd. Dit moet haast wel gedaan zijn door iemand die aanwezig is op deze trein. Murder on the Safari Star can be read as a stand-alone novel, or enjoyed as part of the Adventures on Trains series. Join Hal and Uncle Nat on more stops in this thrilling series, with: The Highland Falcon Thief, Kidnap on the California Comet, Danger at Dead Man's Pass and Sabotage on the Solar Express. Thuli Madonsela speaks about the importance of SA's political future in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

De personages die exclusief in dit boek voorkomen - met name Winston, maar ook alle andere - zijn ook niet zo heel bijzonder opvallend. Alleen Nicole verraste me op het einde nog even, want op mijn zeventiende was ik in elk geval niet zo daadkrachtig als zij (al heb ik ook nooit plannen gehad om business management op Harvard te gaan studeren, oké, kan ik het helpen). Maar verder... mwah. Ik was niet echt overtuigd. Liana, ja, die vond ik nog wel tof. Een frisse wind door het verhaal.Het eerste dat me opviel toen ik in dit derde boek begon, was dat de vertaling van Anne Douqué was. En al kon ik me niet herinneren wie de vorige twee verhalen had gedaan, van haar had ik nog nooit gehoord. Het was in elk geval een aangename kennismaking. Het las vlot, snel, geen rare zinnen, geen typfouten. Mooie Nederlandse uitgave!

Murder on the Safari Star | BookTrust Adventures on Trains: Murder on the Safari Star | BookTrust

This time, Hal and his uncle Nat were traveling in Safari Star, a luxurious safari train in South Africa. And for the first time on his detective career, Hal had a murder case. A "file MD5" is a hash that gets computed from the file contents, and is reasonably unique based on that content. All shadow libraries that we have indexed on here primarily use MD5s to identify files. But the book also highlights the importance of conservation and the threat that safari animals face. With the Highland Falcon Thief, M. G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman bring the classic mystery on a train bang up to date with a carriage-load of wit and suspenseHal and Uncle Nat continue to shine and their relationship is always so genuinely portrayed. Because they are so grounded now in who they are, I'm always excited to see how they interact with a new cast of characters, and who Hal makes friends with next. I loved Hal's new friendship with Winston and even the mongoose Chipo. Each new setting and each new cast of characters presents different challenges to Hal and Uncle Nat and I just love watching them navigate it all. This is a light-hearted fun murder mystery, with a cast of passengers that could have stepped off Agatha’s Christie’s Orient Express, accompanied by a clever plot, with clues nicely placed throughout the story. In fact, you could call it Agatha Christie for kids. It’s a super premise for a series of stand alone adventures, with Hal and train buff uncle travelling the world, and given its light tone, different locations and the challenge of solving the mystery before Hal, it’s a super read for kids. Also it’s illustrated, and I love illustrations! The third story in the addictive Adventures on Trains detective series — co-authored by Beetle Boy creator MG Leonard and loco-nerd Sam Sedgman — is the best yet and the first murder case.

Hal, who was outside the room at the time, doesn't believe it was an accident, but he'll have to prove it, if anyone is going to believe him. The investigation begins. Brilliantly written and with a gripping case at its heart, it has all the hallmarks of a classic mystery story, with red herrings, twists, surprises, a gloriously drawn cast of characters, intricate plotting and even poisonous snakes.

Het eerste wat opvalt is dat het per boek in de serie het steeds iets spannender wordt. Het begint met diefstal, wordt gevolgd door ontvoering en nu is er zelfs moord. Het geeft hoge verwachtingen aan het boek, maar M.G. Leonard en Sam Sedgman weten te voldoen aan deze verwachtingen. We also got a teeeeeeeny sneak peek at the next book and I think it will be another corker - I'm liking the set up already. Please report metadata errors at the source library. If there are multiple source libraries, know that we pull metadata from top to bottom, so the first one might be sufficient.

I felt that this was a little more contrived than the first two, but only in the sense that the crime feels a little engineered. Which is forgivable, as I doubt the series would work if Hal and Nat just went for a plain old train ride ;) Aside from all that, it was great to see Hal work his magic on another mystery. And also to see a friend that was less than convinced (at least at first!) by his snooping, and to see a detective who respects his skills. Ik had zo mijn vermoedens over wie hét gedaan had, na een tijdje, en ik bleek gelijk te krijgen ook, al wist ik niet waarom. Maar hoe je het ook draait of keert: zoals gewoonlijk gaat het in elk geval weer om een heleboel details die uiteindelijk één grote, volledige puzzel vormen. En dat is natuurlijk wel de bedoeling, dat is ook wat ik in dit verhaal verwachtte en wilde. Zal Alex deze zaak weer weten op de lossen, of is de recherche die dit keer aan boort is, sneller dan hem?M.G.
