From the moment the boat sets sail it becomes clear that many of his fellow passengers - from a neurotic widow to the ship's lecturer - have guilty secrets to hide. But do any of them also have a motive for murder? It will take all of Nigel's insight and flair if he is to uncover the truth. • Nicholas Blake was the pseudonym of Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis, who was born in County Laois, Ireland in 1904. After his mother died in 1906, he was brought up in London by his father, spending summer holidays with relatives in Wexford. He was educated at Sherborne School and Wadham College, Oxford, from which he graduated in 1927. Blake initially worked as a teacher to supplement his income from his poetry writing and he published his first Nigel Strangeways novel, A Question of Proof, in 1935. • Blake went on to write a further nineteen crime novels, all but four of which featured Nigel Strangeways, as well as numerous poetry collections and translations. During the Second World War he worked as a publications editor in the Ministry of Information, which he used as the basis for the Ministry of Morale in Minute for Murder, and after the war he joined the publishers Chatto Windus as an editor and director. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1968 and died in 1972 at the home of his friend, the writer Kingsley Amis. • Critic Reviews: • The Nicholas Blake books are something quite by themselves in English detective fiction. (Elizabeth Bowen) • His plots are ingenious (Times Literary Supplement) • A master of detective fiction (Daily Telegraph) • Members Reviews: • Another Dreadful Narrator • Don't publishing companies audition their narrators any more? More than half the books I buy have terrible narrators that ruin them. I couldn't get past the first ten minutes with this one, the narrator had a horrible jerky stop/start way of reading, emphasising completely random words in each sentence. I have no idea if this was a good story - I couldn't listen to it, and won't be listening to any of the other ones.
