Reviews


(4 stars)

This story dragged a bit which is unfortunate because I like Inspector French. The ending is rather dramatic and surprising. Good reader.


(5 stars)

Just when you think you have the answer, Crofts delivers a twist that not only surprises you; but French as well.

Excellent


(5 stars)

Very well read. More twists and turns than the typical Crofts mystery.

Pretty poor stuff


(1 star)

Even at the end, the so-called detective has failed to arrive at the correct solution of the mystery. The reading was so slow I had to use the 'speeder-upper' option in my reader to make the reading tolerable.

A good yarn


(5 stars)

A good story line with enough twists and turns to keep up interest. Just what we have come to expect from Freeman Wills Croft

The Sea Mystery

Not my favourite of inspector French, but the book is good and the ending tired it all up.
