As books about nothing go, this is really quite something. There is no real beginning, middle or end to M Train though it offers the most rounded portrait you could hope for of a life lived intensely, truthfully and on a never-ending quest for artistic enrichment. When a woman takes her table at her beloved New York café and makes a series of loud phone calls, Smith silently places her in a Midsomer Murders plotline where she is found strangled in a wild ravine behind an abandoned vicarage.Įlsewhere, we learn that she is superstitious (she takes a Tarot reading before going to sleep), catastrophically forgetful (she loses coats, notebooks, cameras and napkins on which she has scrawled ideas) and she has extended conversations with her television remote control.

Similarly amusing are her sporadic fits of irritation. Morse, Lewis, Wycliffe, Frost – she loves them all. Certainly, there’s something heart-warming about learning that, when she comes to London, Smith likes nothing more than to hole up in her hotel room and watch detective shows on ITV3.
