Murder on the Toy Town Express is the second installment in the Vintage Toyshop Mystery series set in East Aurora, NY and features vintage toy shop co-owner Liz McCall. The toy and train show is coming to town and the McCall family is having a booth for their shop, Well Played.

Liz isn't too happy to discover that Craig McFadden, the school yard bully and now the owner of the comic book store across the street has a booth set up next to hers. Craig is acting a little bizarre wearing a superhero cape and bragging that he has a big announcement to make. When Craig appears on the catwalk high above the crowd and ultimately plunges to the ground, Liz and her father who is also the retired police chief quickly find themselves in the midst of the investigation.

A fast moving plot line with plenty of suspects, well developed characters and a hint of romance. I have not had the opportunity to read the first in this series but had no troubles following along.
