Detective Appleby is shipwrecked on an island after his shop is torpedoed. There are several other passengers stranded with him. Then people start dying.
Innes is the most inconsistent of all detective fiction writers, when he is good its fantastic , when he is bad you get this. This is truly terrible, absolute tripe.
The only reason I'm not actually throwing the book out is the edition is 58 years old and deserves better, the writing doesn't.
