The year is 1921. A passionate affair between a romantic young woman and her dentist leads them to plot his wife's murder. They are inspired by the recent real life case of Dr. Crippen so, when the wife decides to sail on the Mauretania, the dentist books his passage in the name of the policeman who brought Crippen to justice, Inspector Dew, and then a murder takes place.
This was published in 1982 and is part murder mystery, part satire of a 'golden age' mystery. It is laugh out loud funny in parts but the mystery is entertaining and brings some tension to the story . There is a strong cast of characters on the ship who may be involved in the killing.
Good fun.
