Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Sea Detective by Mark Douglas-Home.
Cal McGill is an Edinburgh-based oceanographer, environmentalist and one-of-a-kind investigator.

Really great start to a series.
Absolutely loved this, a fab introduction to some lovely new characters and a good plot. Although I have to admit I've realised I would be entranced by David Monteath's voice reading a dictionary!

loved this audiobook
The story was well written and has an original angle on crime with some very funny situations and good humour. Good characterisation and narration. I am looking forward to listening to the next audiobook.

5 star storyline and narration
Great storyline with twists and turns, seediest side of humanity dealt with but also humour. Fantastic narration. I am looking for more in this series.

Great story by a new author
If you could sum up The Sea Detective in three words, what would they be?
keeps you guessing
Any additional comments?
An interesting new character- who isn't a policeman - by a new author who very cleverly makes the various threads intertwine but come to their conclusions apart yet together.
Good to know this is the first of a series about Cal McGill.

Sea change
This is an interesting slant on data gathering in detective work concerning the sea. As an introduction to our hero Cal, it was a very gripping opening case. I found the character of Helen Jamieson was almost stronger than the protagonist though; I hope she reappears in a later story.
I enjoyed too the narrator and will keep tracks of how this series develops.

Fab
I really enjoyed listening to this book. The story kept up a good pace and I felt the main characters were believable.
Davids narration was easy to listen to and found that I was disappointed at having to turn it of.

An updated Hamish MacBeth?
Not sure how much of my assessment on this being like HM is down to the narrator’s voice.
Good story. Well told. Once past the harrowing start, easy listening. Just enough escape. Will try another.

An absorbing tale
Not your run of the mill mystery
Strong likeable characters and an out of the ordinary theme. I loved this book and finished it in 2 days. Good listen
