Dangerous Sea - Softcover

David Roberts worked in publishing for over thirty years, most recently as a director, before devoting his energies to writing full time. He is married and divides his time between London and Wiltshire.

Roberts just keeps getting better with each book in this historical series. * Publishers Weekly * 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 * A perfect example of golden-age mystery traditions with the cobwebs swept away * Guardian * A really well-crafted and charming mystery story * Daily Mail * A gripping, richly satisfying whodunit with finely observed characters, sparkling with insouciance and stinging menace -- Peter James 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 * Roberts' use of period detail... gives the tale terrific texture. Recommend this one heartily to history-mystery devotees * Booklist on Bones of the Buried * Roberts just keeps getting better with each book in this historical series * Publishers Weekly * 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 * Praise for David Roberts:
