This was an excellent book with lots of intrigue, though I would not award this book with the full 5 stars because some parts are a bit repetitive.

Let it be known: I am a train nut. A VIA Rail nut, to be more specific. So when I heard about this great little mystery about a murder aboard the Canadian from Winnipeg to Vancouver, I had to read it! "Murder on the Canadian" was a short read, but a very enjoyable one.

Protagonist Tom Austen wants to become a detective like his idols the Hardy Boys. Tom knows all the techniques: fingerprinting, poisons, collecting evidence and interrogating suspects, but when his vacation turns to a real murder investigation he gets more than he bargained for.

The beautiful Catherine Saks has been murdered in her room, apparently by her drunk, jealous husband. There are a number of suspects, and Tom has to move quickly and carefully to avoid being caught. The case takes a number of interesting twists and turns, including Tom nearly being abandoned in a small town, a poisoned omelette, and a fight in a railway tunnel with the killer.

Vivid descriptions, steady pacing and plenty of great conversations, as well as several action-packed sequences make this an enjoyable read for mystery and train fans of all ages.

I believe this is the most wonderfull suspence book for kids aged 10 to 14. Probably one of the best ones I ever read when I was that age. Highly recomended for kids to incentivate their lecture. Great present

Tom Austen is a kid detective. When he hears about a ghost town in the mountains of British Columbia, he has to go. Soon Tom and his sidekick, Dietmar Oban, find out that a young girl has disappeared. Then a boy disappears. It's now up to Tom and Dietmar to solve the mystery, before it's too late and they disappear too.

This was an excellent book. I recommend it to any mystery fans.

I like it when TOM explores ghost towns and caves. I wish that I would be allowed to go explore ghost towns too. The part I like best is when they find CHUCK and TIPPY at the end. I want to read all of his books. I CAN NAME SOME OF THEM. COLD MIDNIGHT IN VIEUX QUEBEC, CODE RED IN THE SUPER MALL, THE GREEN GABLES DETECTIVE, SPIRT IN THE RAINFOREST, THE ICE DIAMAND QUEST, MURDER ON THE CANADIAN and many more

I just read "Disneyland Hostage" by Eric Wilson. It is about a girl named Liz who travels with her aunt to Universal Studos (City) and to Disneyland. They meet a young man on the plane who accompnies them on their trip. She meets a new friend at Universaal and they hang out there and at Disneyland. While at Disneyland they become hostages by terrorists who want to end poverty where they came from. I was first attracted to this book because it was placed at Disneyland( ny favorite place)but it contained so little of the sights of Disneyland and so I was turned off by the book. It was an exciting read but I wanted to hear more about Disneyland.

Liz Austen and her brother Tom are detectives. They've solved everything from kidnappings to murders. Now Liz is going to have to solve a hostage situation, without the help of her brother.

While Liz Austen is on a trip to California to visit Universal Studios (City) and Disneyland with her Aunt, they run into a charming man known as Kingsley. He soon becomes a quick friend and escorts them to the amusement parks. But when Liz notices someone following her and her friend Serena they realize that something bad is going to happen. It's now up to Liz to save the hostages, and bring peace to the people visiting Disneyland before someone gets hurt.

This was my first book by Eric Wilson, and I must admit I was very impressed. I like how he doesn't drag sentences out or keep you guessing. This is a great book and I recommend it to any mystery readers.

This book is abput a girl named Liz who goes to Disneyland with her aunt and gets taken hostage by a group of young men and woman form Latin America. One of the other hostages arrests the leader.I liked it because it was very exiciting

Tom Austen is back with his crime solving expertise. This time one of his schoolmates has been kidnapped and it's up to him to find him. But when he begins uncovering interesting facts about the Golden Boy Cafe, and then gets kidnapped himself he needs to use his brain to save the both of them.

This was a very exciting book. I recommend it to all fans of the mystery genre.
