About this listen

Southampton, 1910. When the Oceanic sets sail its ultimate destination is New York. But it must make one very important stop first: at Cherbourg, to pick up internationally renowned financier and art collector J. P. Morgan, fresh from a continental buying spree. George Dillman and Genevieve Masefield, the ship’s detectives, are nervous about the presence of such an important passenger, not to mention his valuable cargo. After all, it is rare for a transatlantic voyage to pass without incident for the two sleuths. The everyday difficulties of managing passengers including a charming rake intent on causing mischief and a controversial painter travelling with his bohemian wife and his alluring French model, are brought to a pitch when a major art theft takes place and a throat is cut. Dillman and Masefield must draw upon all their experience to find the killer before it is too late.

Previously published under the name Conrad Allen, the Ocean Liner series is making waves with a new generation of readers and listeners.

It’s taken me a long time to get through this one as I kept falling asleep! Slow, obvious and predictable this is the worst I’ve heard so far. The ‘victims’ of the crime were all deeply odious characters so you don’t exactly root for the villain
Also, the usual declaration of “I’m a detective, don’t tell anyone” is wearing very fine.

Not the best

All this story is about is passengers complaining - where is the actual detective work that happened in the other books in the series. The only actual detective work is at the end of the last chapter and that's by accident - could the author not think of anything new, just endless pages of passengers complaining about their thefts. I will stop at this point with this series, if the author can't actually think of anything new then its just a waste of my time.

No story just complaining passengers
