Summary

A maritime mystery from Edward Marston, author of the bestselling Railway Detective series.

New York, 1908. Private detectives George Dillman and Genevieve Masefield plan to take a break from work upon the Cunard Line’s fleet with the offer of employment upon the Minnesota, a freighter and passenger vessel, which is bound for the Far East.

Although the pair are investigating the possibility of a smuggling operation on the route, at first all appears to be smooth sailing, but the voyage takes a dire turn when a fiery Catholic missionary is murdered and it proves to be the first in a series of crimes that plague the crossing.

Previously published under the name Conrad Allen, the Ocean Liner series sets sail for a new generation of listeners.

The characters

The story wasn't as complex as we expect these days. It was 'of it's time'.

Good light listen

I found it a good listen, not too many characters to muddle the plot/s, which were cleverly presented and solved, James Langton kept to each character’s voice throughout as well as having a clear voice.

Great Story

Very easy listen. Engaging, characters easy to follow & each has a back story that could implicate them. Story flows well with no unnecessary distractions to the plot.
