To mark the publishing centenary of Freeman Wills Crofts, 'The King of Detective Story Writers', this is one of six classic crime novels being issued in 2020 featuring Inspector French, coming soon to television. The Jane Vosper is plunged to the bottom of the Atlantic by a series of explosions in her hold. With no innocent explanation of the cause, it appears that someone must have sunk the ship for the insurance money. When The Land and Sea Insurance Company's official investigator then disappears, Inspector French is called in from Scotland Yard to find him. French decides that the only way to find his missing person is to solve the baffling mystery of the sinking of the Jane Vosper first. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I thoroughly enjoyed this installment in the French series. Granted, I am rather nerdy about boats *and* insurance, so this ticked two major boxes for me. Readers who like lots of car chases or thrilling set pieces may find this book rather slow for their tastes. Other readers who appreciate seeing real police work—methodically following up on each lead, continually challenging one’s assumptions and research—will find this book interesting and possibly even soothing in its way. This may be my favourite French so far.
For those who are concerned about series order: the book does make reference to a few previous cases, but does not give away the identities of criminals in previous books, as far as I can tell. So you could read out of order (which is what I’m doing, honestly). ( )
