The Driftwood Girls Zusammenfassung

The Driftwood Girls Mark Douglas-Home

TWO MISSING WOMEN. AN OCEAN FULL OF SECRETS . . .

'A first-class mystery - perplexing and at times disturbing' i paper

'Intelligence, imagination and lucid writing' The Times
____________

Kate and Flora have always been haunted by a mystery - their mother, Christine, vanished without trace when they were children.

But now Kate has a more urgent problem: Flora has disappeared too.

In desperation, she searches Flora's house, and finds a scrap of paper with a name scribbled on it: Cal McGill.

Cal is a 'sea detective': an expert in the winds and the tides, and consequently adept at finding lost things - and lost people.

Can Cal find Flora?

And might he even know the secret of what happened to their mother, all those years ago . . . ?

'I'm completely addicted to this series' Dermot O'Leary

The Driftwood Girls Bewertungen

Douglas-Home's intelligence, imagination and lucid writing, coupled with David Monteath's addictively accented narration, successfully carries the listener through a somewhat labyrinthine plot, ingeniously weaving in every apparent loose end. * The Times (Audiobook of the Week) *
A first-class mystery - perplexing and at times disturbing * i paper *
A first-class mystery . . . satisfying, intelligent and compelling, perhaps the finest, so far, of the Sea Detective series - a series that is established already as one of the best in contemporary crime fiction * The Scotsman *
The unusual background and the layered plots make this a series for those who enjoy their puzzles dense and strange * Morning Star *
It's a first-class mystery, perplexing and at times disturbing, but also with a couple of comic scenes to lighten the atmosphere * Yorkshire Post *
Full of suspense, a gripping 'whodunnit' laced with psychological tension. Douglas-Home is an author who can pull the wool over the reader's eyes until the very end * Scottish Field *
A first-class mystery...satisfying, intelligent and compelling, perhaps the finest, so far, of the Sea Detective series - a series that is established already as one of the best in contemporary crime fiction. * The Scotsman *
