Book excerpt: After WWII, a woman settles in a seaside town—where her old intelligence skills come in surprisingly handy: “Great fun.”—James Runcie, author of the Grantchester mysteries In post-World War II England, former Secret Service operative Mirabelle Bevan becomes embroiled in a new kind of intrigue . . . 1951: In the popular seaside town of Brighton, it’s time for Mirabelle Bevan to move beyond her tumultuous wartime years and start anew. Accepting a job at a debt collection agency seems a step toward a more tranquil life. But as she follows up on a routine loan to Romana Laszlo, a pregnant Hungarian refugee who’s recently come off the train from London, Mirabelle’s instincts for spotting deception are stirred when the woman is reported dead, along with her unborn child. After encountering a social-climbing doctor with a sudden influx of wealth and Romana’s sister, who seems far from bereaved and doesn’t sound Hungarian, Mirabelle decides to dig deeper into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death. Aided by her feisty sidekick—a fellow office worker named Vesta Churchill (“no relation to Winston,” as she explains)—Mirabelle unravels a web of evil that stretches from the Brighton beachfront to the darkest corners of Europe. Putting her own life at risk, she must navigate a lethal labyrinth of lies and danger to expose the truth. “[An] entertaining series launch . . . Mirabelle is indeed a lady, even when she’s climbing over back fences and knocking back whiskey.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: In this title story of this collection, the author compares the impoverished daughter on an early to one of the old first-class coaches on the "Brighton Belle"--"once elegant but now dilapidated and ramshackle". The famous train also stands as the symbol for the whole pleasure-loving resort that gives the stories their setting. Behind the cracked Regency facades are flats and bedsitters; beyond the quiet square, the streets are strident with the voices of students and day-trippers. Criminality rubs shoulders with conventionality; raffishness with wealth.

Book excerpt: Fantastic – a ripping yarn. If you know the hospitality industry, you’ll recognise the places, the food, the characters, but not only that, it’s a love story, too' Gregg Wallace ‘Craig Melvin is a vivid and entertaining storyteller, with a real understanding of how to engage readers with a well-crafted yarn. He always cooks up a literary feast' Matt Haig Welcome to the worst day of Chef Charlie Sheridan's life, the day he's about to lose his two great loves: his childhood sweetheart, Lulu, and the legendary Brighton hotel his grandfather, Franco Sheridan, opened in 1973. This is the story of the Belle Hotel, one that spans the course of four decades – from the training of a young chef in the 1970s and 80s, through the hedonistic 90s, up to the credit crunch of the noughties – and leads us right back to Charlie's present-day suffering. In this bittersweet and salty tale, our two Michelin star-crossed lovers navigate their seaside hangout for actors, artists and rock stars; the lure of the great restaurants of London; and the devastating effects of three generations of family secrets.

Book Synopsis Luxury Railway Travel by : Martyn Pring
Download or read book Luxury Railway Travel written by Martyn Pring and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British luxury rail travel was not just the domain of the Pullman Company. In fact, they were far from the only providers as railway companies in Britain were extremely active from late Victorian times competing for leisure business. Various railway operators were at the forefront of deluxe rail travel services across pre-grouping, Big Four and BR eras when first-class travel was increasingly adapted for the needs of the business community. Recently Britain's railway heritage has been responsible for kick-starting a modern tourist spectacle as specialist operators run luxury day excursion, sleeping-car and fine-dining trains. Martyn Pring has carried out considerable research tracing the evolution of British luxury train travel weaving railway, social and travel history threads around a number of Britain's mainline routes traditionally associated with glamorous trains. Drawing on contemporary coverage, he chronicles the luxury products and services shaped by railway companies and hospitality businesses for Britain's burgeoning upper and middle-classes and wealthy overseas visitors, particularly Americans, who demanded more civilized and comfortable rail travel. By Edwardian times, a pleasure-palace industry emerged as entrepreneurs, hotel proprietors, local authorities and railway companies all collaborated developing upscale destinations, building civic amenities, creating sightseeing and leisure pursuits and in place-making initiatives to attract prosperous patrons. Luxury named trains delivered sophisticated and fashionable settings encouraging a golden age of civilized business and leisure travel. Harkening back to the inter-war years, modern luxury train operators now redefine and capture the allure and excitement of dining and train travel experiences.
