About this listen

Egypt, 1908. George Dillman and Genevieve Masefield, used to the grand opulence of the Cunard cruise line, are at first disappointed with the Marmora, a small, unimpressive ship owned by the P&O shipping line. Employed by P&O to be the ship’s detectives, Dillman and Masefield expect to encounter the usual assortment of petty thieves and confidence tricksters.

But this cruise is certain to be unique as the Duke and Duchess of Fife and their children are aboard and the detectives will provide security for the royals. And when a dead body turns up, the voyage proves to be one to remember. Keeping the demise of the poor victim a secret on such a small ship is tough enough but suspects abound, meaning Dillman and Masefield have their work cut out for them.

Previously published under the name Conrad Allen, the Ocean Liner series casts off for a new generation of fans.

Superb narrator who manages numerous different characters with ease. All the stories in this series follow a similar pattern, but still has a few twists to keep the listener guessing.

An easy enjoyable listen

Another good story so far but Rameses the Eleventh??? lol obviously a very dodgy Egyptologist I'm going with him being the murderer!

I’m thoroughly enjoying these books, as recommended by a good friend. They are great, but oh my, can we please stop banging on about Genevieve and her outstanding beauty?! It’s becoming an annoying and frankly unnecessary part of the story.

Another great tale but….
