A clever, funny comic for young readers about a dog detective and his latest case! What could possibly happen on a train to the seaside?

It's a locomotion commotion! There's treachery on the tracks!

It’s all luxury on board: plush furnishings, five-star food and a cabin crew of meerkats to attend to guests’ every need. Detective Stanley can finally relax and enjoy his retirement. 

But will he get the holiday he deserves? Or will he be required to unpuzzle another crime? Luckily for readers of the Detective Stanley series, our favourite sleuthhound can't seem to catch a break from mysteries and mayhem. Hop on board Detective Stanley and the Trouble on the Train for twists, turns and turmoil!
