[Inspector Felix 02] • Death on a Dark Sea

If you love the old ‘whodunits’ from the Golden Age of British crime-writing, you will enjoy this. Set in the 1920s, it’s the second in a series of traditional murder mysteries featuring the amiable Detective Inspector Miles Felix of Scotland Yard and his shrewd but prickly assistant, Sergeant ‘Teddy’ Rattigan.

A millionaire throws a party for his business associates and their families aboard his luxury yacht. It’s a hot, sultry night, tempers become frayed and a quarrel ends in violent death. Arriving the next morning, Inspector Felix and his team find just eighteen people aboard. It ought to be easy, but they haven’t bargained for the weather, or an unexpected romance.
