It’s set in World War II and what’s amazing is that it was written in 1940 and he didn’t know what the outcome of the war would be. We know Germany lost and everything was OK, but if you were writing in 1940 you’d think: ‘Cripes, these people look very scary and good and we don’t really look very good at all.’
One of the most underrated of espionage writers.
Very good. Characters are interesting - a little like Murder On the Orient Express, but on a ship and the murder is planned, not past
If you like your spy thrillers like Alfred Hitchcock spy films then you will enjoy this.
