About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a cosy, joke-filled mystery with a seaside setting and a quirky sleuthing vibe, similar to Partners in Crime; not for you if you want a tightly plotted, serious whodunit.
Pros: cosy old-fashioned charm; warm humour; fun ship setting | Cons: daft muddled plot; forced comedy; weaker series entry
