For those who enjoy messing about in boats.,
By John Austin "austinjr@bigpond.net.au" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Mystery in the English Channel (Hardcover)
A yacht is found floating in the English Channel. Her only occupants are two corpses. The yacht's mystery proves almost as puzzling as that of the "Marie Celeste". Readers who enjoy messing about in boats, solving time and motion puzzles, and police detective work will enjoy this Freeman Wills Crofts' murder mystery from 1931. Inspector French tests and abandons many theories, working in and around the Channel, in England and in France. Testing was apparently easier in the early 1930s, when taxi drivers and shopkeepers could remember their customers, and when banks recorded the numbers on notes deposited and withdrawn. If this is the sort of "Golden Age" detective fiction and nostalgia trip you enjoy, then sample it and others in the complete edition of Freeman Wills Crofts' books reprinted in 2000 in England by the House of Stratus. |
