The Riviera Express

‘A delicious adventure’ Daily Mail Murder on the Riviera Express

Gerald Hennessey - silver screen star and much-loved heart-throb - never quite makes it to Temple Regis, the quaint seaside town on the English Riviera. Murdered on the 4.30 from Paddington, the loss of this great man throws Temple Regis's community into disarray. Not least Miss Judy Dimont - corkscrew-haired reporter for the local rag, the RIVIERA EXPRESS. Investigating Gerald's death, she's soon called to the scene of a second death, and, setting off on her moped, finds Arthur Shrimsley in an apparent suicide on the clifftops above the town beach. Miss Dimont must prevail - for why was a man like Gerald coming to Temple Regis anyway? What is the connection between him and Arthur? And just how will she get any answers whilst under the watchful and mocking eyes of her infamously cantankerous editor, Rudyard Rhys?

Rambles on the Riviera is a travel story by M. F. Mansfield. It depicts a journey made by car in the deep lands of Provence in France, and ends up at the region bordering upon the Mediterranean west of the Italian frontier and east of Toulon, also known as the French Riviera.

Grand European Expresses (1962) examines the trains de luxe of the International Sleeping Car and European Express Trains Company, from the Orient Express of the 1880s to the car-sleepers of the 1960s. As modern-day sleeper services are being resurrected across European rail networks, this book looks at the complex organisation that was required to run their forbears, with sleeping cars with clean bedding and conductors and dining cars with food and drink were in the right place at the right time across many different nations, systems and time-zones.
