Dangerous Sea (Lord Edward Corinth & Verity Browne) - Tapa blanda

Praise for David Roberts:

The plot is both intricate and enthralling, like Poirot on the high seas, and lovingly recorded by an author with a meticulous eye and a huge sense of fun (Michael Dobbs, author of Winston's War and Never Surrender)

Roberts just keeps getting better with each book in this historical series (Publishers Weekly)

Roberts' use of period detail... gives the tale terrific texture. Recommend this one heartily to history-mystery devotees (Booklist on Bones of the Buried)

A classic murder mystery with as complex a plot as one could hope for and a most engaging pair of amateur sleuths whom I look forward to encountering again in future novels (Charles Osborne, author of The Life and Crimes of Agatha Christie, on Sweet Poison)

A gripping, richly satisfying whodunit with finely observed characters, sparkling with insouciance and stinging menace (Peter James)

A really well-crafted and charming mystery story (Daily Mail)

A perfect example of golden-age mystery traditions with the cobwebs swept away (Guardian)

Dangerous Sea is taken from more elegant times than ours when women retained their mystery and even murder held a certain charm. The plot is both intricate and enthralling, like Poirot on the high seas, and lovingly recorded by an author with a meticulous eye and a huge sense of fun. (Michael Dobbs, author of Winston's War and Never Surrender)

Roberts just keeps getting better with each book in this historical series. (Publishers Weekly)
