Summary
"The horror on the train, great though it may turn out to be, will not compare with the horror that exists here, in this house."
On Christmas Eve, heavy snowfall brings a train to a halt near the village of Hemmersby. Several passengers take shelter in a deserted country house, where the fire has been lit and the table laid for tea - but no one is at home. Trapped together for Christmas, the passengers are seeking to unravel the secrets of the empty house when a murderer strikes in their midst.

Comfy listening but drawn out.
a bit of a classic. very convoluted and drawn out but there are worse ways to pass the time on a journey.

Excellent
One of the best stories. I've read this book a few times and thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. The narrator Patience is outstanding. She brings the characters to life so well. Highly recommend.

Lovely period piece excellently read.
Extremely enjoyable. Another reader referred to it as "dated". Strange reaction. It was written in 1937 and aimed at readers of that period. That is part of the pleasure. Time travel.

Shiveringly cold ...
You can almost feel the drop in temperature as you turn the pages. You know This is a great mystery, a wee bit creepy and well narrated. Would I listen to more by the same author? Definitely!

Of its time, but still quite entertaining
I thoroughly enjoy most detective novels of this era, but must confess this one hasn't really stood the test of time as well as some others, such as those written by Christie or Sayers. The plot line is rather fantastical and not particularly satisfactory; however the characters are interesting enough, and the author manages to create an excellent wintry atmosphere. The narrator is fine, and it's an interesting-enough listen, but I'm not sure I'd rate it among the classics.

Don’t bother with this flabby, incomprehensible bore
This tale is overblown, confused and lacking in month. I was tempted by the locked room scenario, but the “murder” is not what you would expect . I kept expecting something to happen and it didn’t.

Showing it's age
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
More plot development and less of the interminably long passages that did not add to the story. Too wordy ! Interestingly the engine used to illustrate the cover is not a UK type - ditto the coaches.
What was most disappointing about J. Jefferson Farjeon’s story?
It was quite frankly - very boring
Would you be willing to try another one of Patience Tomlinson’s performances?
Perhaps
What character would you cut from Mystery in White?
Quite a few
Any additional comments?
This is not a crime novel - just a rambling story. I'm an avid crime story reader and this was a big disappointment
