About this listen

November 1907. George Dillman and Genevieve Masefield sail from Liverpool to New York on the maiden voyage of the luxurious Mauretania. Employed by the Cunard Line again as private detectives, they pose as passengers on what proves to be a very eventful crossing.

Dillman is instrumental in rescuing a crew member from being washed overboard in severe weather, but he is unable to save one of the first-class passengers from the same fate. At first, it looks like a case of death by misadventure, but is the presence of a record shipment of gold bullion on board just too great a coincidence? Dillman and Genevieve must fathom the motive for murder before it is too late.

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

The second in this series that I’ve listened to. Very easy going and enjoyable. Finished in just two days with it being a shorter story.

... the reader's voice was a horrible distraction rather than an enhancement. The different characters were defined well - apart from the obligatory annoying child - but otherwise it was a bit like he was content to slip into a well-worn grove as he worked his way through the text - a bit sing-song maybe? Give it a go, because the basic story is good enough, but be aware you may find yourself listening out for verbal clonks instead of getting familiar with quite a big cast...

I can't put my finger on why, but ....
