About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Woman Who Walked into the Sea by Mark Douglas-Home, read by David Monteath.
The daughter who nobody wanted learns the truth about the mother she never knew.
Cal McGill is a unique investigator and oceanographer who uses his expertise to locate things - and sometimes people - lost or missing at sea. His expertise could unravel the haunting mystery of why, 26 years ago on a remote Scottish beach, Megan Bates strode out into the cold ocean and let the waves wash her away.
Megan's daughter, Violet Wells, was abandoned as a baby on the steps of a local hospital just hours before the mother she never knew took her own life. As McGill is drawn into Violet's search for the truth, he encounters a coastal community divided by obsession and grief and united only by a conviction that its secrets should stay buried....

Good
I found the character of Violet poorly portrayed, she was a very stupid woman who was easily fooled, no strength. Not as good as books one and two

Great series
Even better than the first book in the series. Strong, well developed characters, a brilliant story line and a wonderful setting. Beautifully read. Really looking forward to the next instalment in the series.

Great entertainment
I really enjoyed listening to this quite complicated plot as it is so well read. The ending is a little bit frustrating!

The woman who walked into the sea
This is another enjoyable and intriguing mystery to be unraveled by Cal McGill.
Narration suits the mood of the story

A thoroughly enjoyable story.
Thoroughly enjoyable story which kept my attention throughout. An adopted women goes looking for her birth mother & the 26 year mystery surrounding her dissapearance/suicide!!??. This involves historic adultery, family recentments, vengeance & hostility from the local criminal fraternity. Unlike the first book Cal McGill's expertise does not feature heavily in this second book but this doesn't distract from a very intriguing story with a clever twist at the end. My only disappointment was with Violets decision regarding the Ritchie/Anderson family inheritance. Once again a brilliant narration by David Monteath. Thoroughly recommended.

Enthralling but sad
A wonderful second instalment in the "Sea Detective" series. Simpler in construction than the first book which had two distinct plots which were woven together so expertly. In this novel there is one plot but involving the past again, with all the main characters playing a significant role in the past and present. Fascinating story. Once again David Monteath's brilliant narration was perfect for the story, making the different characters instantly recognisable. At the end his voice is full of empathy for the characters and almost made me cry. A very satisfying audiobook and I can't wait for Audible to make the next book, The Malice of Waves, available to preorder. Mark Douglas-Home is a wonderful discovery and I hope he writes many more books featuring the very sympathetic and unconventional oceanographer Cal McGill.
