I think there's probably a few books set on trains. I happen to know there's a whole series called The Railway Detective by Edward Marston which might be of interest to you...
It doesn't necessarily have to be so specific. Rather than finding one for the actual town, you could get one that's in the same area, or Bundesländer, or just in Germany!
Is a 'portal world' like a world set in as alternative universe? I have a feeling the term may have changed in the years since I read a lot of sci-if!! Thanks!
I think I've got it. Is it like The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, where they enter another world via a portal, in this case a wardrobe? If so, I can work with that! :D
Yes, that's exactly it! So like in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Alice in Wonderland, or Alice Through The Looking Glass. There's a long list of books with portal worlds here on Goodreads :)
Thanks! I think I've found one by Adrian Tchaikovsky, an author I discovered last year that I want to read more of, so that works well for me! It certainly seems to be portal, and unlike a lot of his books, it's actually quite short!
I'm not sure what constitutes a 'beach read' as I'm not a lounge on the beach reading type, lol!
Oh, that's great! Hmm, that author sounds familiar but I think I might be confusing him with someone else. Which book of his is it?
I'm so not a lounging on the beach type either! It's basically that when it starts to get to summer, various websites come up with lists of books that they class as 'beach reads', something like this, this, or this.

It will be more difficult to find a book set in Mannheim, let alone Heddesheim. I've not lived in enough places! 😁😁😁
