Many thanks to both Oblong Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review a copy of The Railroad, which is #2 in the Lynch and Rose series.
The Controller is back, and the game has just begun.
If THAT doesn't give you shivers ... just wait!! When a toy train locomotive is discovered at a gruesome homicide scene, Special Agent Sandra Rose finds herself pulled into an investigation that's "off the rails". To assist Rose and her partner Special Agent McBride in solving the case, she enlists the help of Samuel Lynch, who is a railroad expert and former FBI agent. The Railroad is full of tension (as well as twists and turns) in the high-stakes game Rose and Lynch are forced to play.
The pace of the book kept me on the edge of my seat, and I felt immediately comfortable with Rose and Lynch, even though I hadn't read the first book in the series.
*TW: The murders are quite gruesome!

The Railroad is an investigative thriller and is the second book in the Lynch and Rose series.
Lyle Cleverly AKA Samuel Lynch receives a package in the mail. As he opens it, he realizes that someone knows who he really is and where his family is. He calls and speaks to his former wife and her new husband, insists they get their go bags and leave now. He gives them specific instructions to follow.
Lynch leaves and goes into hiding. He reaches out to his former FBI partner Sandra Rose and informs her his cover has been blown in addition to the fact he has received a toy train in the mail.
A model train locomotive is found at a murder scene of a family of four with a train left at the scene. The bodies continue to drop with the trains left behind as to the name the serial killer. But as things are discovered they may not be committed by The Controller but maybe someone wanting to make it look as if it is.
This can be a stand-alone read but I feel as if I missed a lot of the nuances that were part of the first book which I did not read. The story is interesting but not as riveting as I have found in other books by the author. The story is still a good story and worth reading.
I received an ARC from NetGalley for an unbiased review.

I have already read several of Matt Brolly's books. I am charmed by his writing style, and his often ingenious plots, where action follows in quick succession. And call me wicked, but I am fascinated by serial killers, and am a great fan of series such as Mindhinters, and the TV series Clarice.
While a brief summary of the previous book is acceptable, the author goes into the previous case too frequently. A short summary of a first book is fine, but here I felt the author went back to the previous case too often.
The relationship between Sandra Rose and her sister Abigail is another example of this repetition.
Despite the cruelty and grief inflicted on both main characters, the story is told in a rather detached and clean manner, which may not be to everyone's taste. The plot is heavily focused on action and events, leaving little room for emotional depth or character development.
Lynch is depicted as a determined and resilient character, pushing through challenges such as lack of sleep, stress, and even a heart attack. While I appreciate his drive, I personally prefer characters with flaws and found his portrayal to be a bit over-the-top. I was wondering if he would be able to pass the mandatory Cooper test given his mental and physical state.
I had the feeling that the Hobbs family case was somehow out of place in the story - especially when Richard explains why he does what he does - and I had the feeling that this connection was added as a sidetrack.
Maybe I'm wrong, but in my opinion Lynch didn't win the bet, at least not in the way Mallard pointed out.
I found the plot exciting, but some parts were a bit boring and personally, I found Terry and his companions' ‘guided tours and sightseeing’ on crime scenes a bit hard to believe.
I missed the voice of the psychopath, fortunately it comes at the end of the story, quite late, but still I think it was a good twist that saved the story somewhat, as there is mainly a lot of travelling from hotel to hotel, and driving around in black sedans.
All in all a strong plot, I would have liked to have seen some concepts a bit more elaborated, e.g. about the Controller's children/family. Some scenes were very reminiscent of that one, very famous film....
3.5 stars.

Sorry Not For Me
I very much admire the work of this author and have read and enjoyed several of his books. But this is truly awful..... Almost everybody is deranged and the plot is ridiculous. Obviously it is popular but I wish now I had not read it.

This one wore me down.
This was kind of exhilarating to,get through. The story felt like it was sluggishly moving down a set of railroad tracks across west Texas.

I would like to thank Netgalley and BookBuzz/Oblong Books for an advance copy of The Railroad, the second novel to feature FBI Special Agent Sandra Rose and former agent Samuel Lynch.
A replica of the Texas Eagle, the railway train that runs between Chicago and San Antonio, is found at the site of the gruesome murder of an entire family. Sandra Rose believes it is the work of the FBI’s most wanted criminal, The Controller. She teams up with Samuel Lynch, who has met The Controller, and together they travel the country as the body count rises in search of a killer. It gets personal for Rose when her sister disappears, it’s already personal for Lynch.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Railroad, which is a fast moving thriller with some good twists and a lot of tension. I have not read the previous novel, The Controller, and I think that I probably missed a great read, but there’s no point in going back as this one covers the salient points from it and moves the storyline forward. This works well as a stand-alone.
Apart from offering a Cook’s tour of the towns near railway stations the novel is a great read that holds the reader’s attention throughout. They are up against an omniscient foe, who has contingency upon contingency baked into the plan, although what that plan is, apart from mayhem, is not clear until the final scenes and ends up as a lot of death and heartbreak for an ego massage. My only disappointment was that it was never explained how the killer comes by his information and I know that I am being silly about that as there is so much going on in the novel there isn’t room for everything. Lynch and Rose roam the country following a trail of dead bodies, but can’t help feeling that they are being led, rather than proactive. It’s only when Lynch goes off piste that the investigation makes a breakthrough. That’s not to say that the novel is slow up to that point, if anything it’s the opposite. It’s body after body, with discoveries about the victims’s activities, no end of danger for the more vulnerable Lynch and a lot of tension for both characters with their families under threat.
The Railroad is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending.

The Railroad by Matt Brolly is a very highly recommended investigative thriller and the second book in the Lynch and Rose series. The pages will fly by when you read this excellent, fast-paced, tension-filled, complicated thriller.
A model train locomotive is found at the gruesome murder scene of a family of four and is clearly recognize as a tie to the psychopathic serial killer, The Controller. Special Agent Sandra Rose and Special Agent McBride are called in to assist the investigate. At the same time former agent Samuel Lynch receives a package addressed to his alias which also contains a model train locomotive. Lynch makes sure his ex-wife and son flee their current location and then contacts Rose. Because of his experience with the Controller and obvious connection to the current investigation, Rose asks him assist in the current investigation. And then the body count rises and the threat increases.
The characters are fully realized, determined, and intelligent. Readers will appreciate these characters, even when they are struggling or feel broken. It is sheer pleasure to follow along as they investigate and piece clues together. The crime scenes can be gruesome, but the idea that the criminal empire of the Controller may be returning is even more frightening.
The Railroad is an un-put-downable thriller that will hold your attention throughout. The tension is palpable and the short chapters keep the pages flying by as more information is uncovered and the action intensifies. It does require some suspension of disbelief, but this is done without a second thought because the plot and suspense is so compelling. Although The Railroad is the second in a series, you can read this as a stand-alone novel as enough background information is provided, however, I predict you will want to read the first book, The Controller.

The Railroad is the second book in the Lynch and Rose series by Matt Brolly.
In short, Special Agent Sandra Rose and FBI agent Samual Lynch are involved in tracking the infamous, most wanted FBI killer. Mallard, a dangerous and complicated predator is central to every bad thing that had ever happened to Lynch and now it appears he’s back determined to destroy hundreds more using the Texas Eagle, a train running from Chicago to Texas…continuing his MO his game plan is to make it personal, this time poking Rose.
Another great book by Matt, his books are always fast paced, interesting page turners with plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader satisfied. He also switches it up by writing both American and British thrillers!
Big thanks to Matt Brolly, BookBuzz and NetGalley for this eARC which I chose to read in return for my honest review.

An electrifying thriller that you won't want to put down! From the first page, I was hooked, and I couldn't stop reading until I knew how it all ends. Special Agent Sandra Rose and Samuel Lynch make a fantastic duo, and their hunt for a twisted serial killer had me on the edge of my seat. What's even more thrilling is the personal connection when Rose's sister goes missing, adding layers of suspense and emotion. This book is like a rollercoaster of suspense, and I was totally engrossed in the cat-and-mouse game with The Controller. If you're a fan of heart-pounding thrillers that keep you guessing, The Railroad is a must-read!
November 7, 2023
A pulse-pounding thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Special Agent Sandra Rose's hunt for a serial killer who leaves toy train locomotives at crime scenes takes readers on a chilling journey along the Texas Eagle train line.The author masterfully weaves together a complex plot, intense suspense, and well-developed characters. As the body count rises and the stakes soar into a national security crisis, the tension becomes palpable. What sets this thriller apart is the personal twist when Rose's sister goes missing, making it not only a race against time but a fight for family.

This was a compelling book about a serial killer who was about to strike again. There are many signs that of that, but no good way to know where he will go next except that it will involve a railroad. This is the second book about this killer and Special Agent Sandra Rose brings back retired FBI agent who worked the previous case because he understood "The Controller" better than anyone else. The tension was high, I enjoyed the book, but probably would have appreciated it more if I had read the first book so I would have known the background of the characters. I received this as an arc from NetGalley and am under to pressure for a positive review.

Faster than a speeding train.
Wow, I must say that this is a brilliant follow on story from The Controller. It’s a fast paced, on the edge of your seat type of story and it’s one hell of a rollercoaster ride when it comes to all the twists and turns that are in it but I do have one slight criticism and that is that compared to the rest of the story, the ending seemed a bit rushed and a bit of a letdown but having said that, overall this story is fantastic and well worth reading so please don’t be put off by my slight criticism, after all it’s just my personal opinion.
Happy reading.

This book was a perfect follow up to The Controller No 1 in the Lynch and Rose series. It was a grilling read in parts as was no 1.. It held my interest from the beginning to end but needed concentration, which made me recap on occasions, if I felt my mind wandering, only I think due to the powerful story and being so engrossed in it. Very cleverly written and I've enjoyed this authors other books, he's on my favourites list. Definitely worth a read but be prepared to hold your breath on occasions.
February 21, 2024
I kind of enjoyed this book and its predecessor, although some parts got a bit unbelievable times. However, my main problem was the huge number of mistakes, in this book in particular, which got more and more frequent the further along I read, making me have to reread some sentances several times for them to make sense, overriding the errors in my head in order to continue. So, publishers PLEASE implement proper and thorough proof reading as lack of it for this book really spoilt it for me personally.

I had been looking forward to this sequel, and was not disappointed. Even better than the original, just, I would say.
My only gripe (apart the usual Kindle typos which publishers seem unable to avoid), was the continual references to the locomotive 'driver'. In the US they are called the 'engineer', but perhaps this is excusable for a UK author, so I've not let it affect my mark.
Hope we see Lynch and Rose again one day!

Grim and Grueling
My single gripe is the unresolved emotional pull between the two main protagonists. The trope is very popular for a reason, so no minus points for the author.
The continuing battle with The Railroad is thankfully a bit less gruesome now that the basic modus operandi of the group is established.
While Mr. Brolly is not an American, he writes very well regardless of geopolitical setting - and hats off to the author for his skill amd attention to detail.

Just...So disappointed 😞
I'm no critique so I'll just say I was very disappointed. I can't put it into words. The book was grey. No colour or excitement. Was not fit to follow up the Controller, which was first class.
I've read so much of this author and this did not do him justice.

Four years have passed since the Railroad was supposedly dismantled. As murders start up again, Lynch is pulled back in, to help FBI agent Rose. The controller is again proving, no one is out of his reach, but is he the mastermind behind the new murders. Good follow up book, that again delivers a tense battle of wills.

The Railroad (Lynch and Rose Book 2)
What an incredible story maker Matt Brolly is. This book was as involved in Mallard as the first. I just couldn’t’t put it down. He writes with such passion and energy, the ability to keep one guessing, WHAT NEXT. I shall have to read the next book right away.

Interessant, aber nichts außergewöhnliches
Leider sehr viele Tipp- und Grammatikfehler. Es gab wohl ein sehr schlechtes Lektorat. Sonst ist die Geschichte ok aber etwas abgehoben. Hätte ich von Anfang an gewusst, wie Teil 1 und2 verlaufen, hätte ich die Bände nicht gekauft. Andere Serien waren wesentlich besser

Good book, but pity.....
The storyline is really good. But there are so many grammatical errors, inconsistent spelling of names that I seriously want to offer my services to Oblong books. Whoever proof read and edited this book should be sent back to school. Matt - get a different publisher, please.

I really enjoyed the plot and the story line but the editing was terrible and made the read so much less fun. The story starts in a cold snowy winter and at so.e point the male protagonist walks into the heat if the summer!!! Wish those little things and the terrible editing wasn't there to spoil a very strong thriller....
January 22, 2024
Bad grammar spoiled an otherwise good story
After reading the controller a few weeks ago, I decided to follow up with the railroad. It was a fairly good sequel but peppered with misused words and unnecessary extra words making no sense.

Very good read. Hoping there would be a more interesting ending. Guess there is another in series. Lynch and Rose make a good team.
