Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Sea Detective by Mark Douglas-Home.
Cal McGill is an Edinburgh-based oceanographer, environmentalist and one-of-a-kind investigator. Using his knowledge of the waves - ocean currents, prevailing winds, shipping records - McGill can track where objects came from or where they've gone. It's a skill that can help solve mysteries ranging from disappearances to murder.
Two severed feet wash up on two different islands off the coast of Scotland. Forensics shows that the feet belong to the same body. As Cal McGill investigates, he unravels a web of corruption, exploitation and human trafficking, which threatens many lives across the globe - including his own....

Is there anything you would change about this book?
There are too many POVs in this book! In my opinion, there should be only 3--Cal's, Helen's, and Bisanti's. The female police seem too fixated on body size and dating--seems sexist and unprofessional for women who undoubtedly worked hard to get where they are. Cal should be using GIS databases and maps--his "technology" seems pretty dated. Cal was also rather unlikeable--I get that he's complicated and makes mistakes, but he's also pretty rude to people and a bit self-involved. In my opinion, he's also too young. Helen is the one with her act together and there should be more of her and how she thinks and orchestrates her investigative coups. I didn't mind that there were two investigations going on, but they should have been linked thematically somehow--perhaps along the lines of how a failed fishing industry causes economic hardships that in turn, cause some people to make unethical decisions? Overall, this story could have used very heavy editing. It felt very much like a creative writing class project, with the author taking to heart the directive to "show, don't tell." I did not need to listen to a long list of coordinates or what each character was wearing every day. Way too much detail on things that don't matter and no narrative or explanation of events of major importance, such Helen's behind-the-scenes machinations, which are crucial to the plot. I thought the narration by David Monteath was very good.What do you think your next listen will be?
A novel in the D.C. Smith mystery series, by Peter Grainger.Which scene was your favorite?
I didn't have any favorites, but I thought the passages set on the island and the Scottish coast were the best.Could you see The Sea Detective being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Actually, I could see this as an entertaining multi-episode tv show. The editing required for the screen would solve many of this book's problems and the settings and characters would be compelling.Any additional comments?
These characters have a lot of potential and I hope the author improves with later installments. I may give this series another try.Interesting premise, but needs lots of editing

Nevertheless, I listened to the second book in the series, hoping these were first-time novel flaws. They weren't. Mr. Douglas-Home, I hope you're reading these reviews because you're on to something special here. Just try to stick to one storyline about an issue that really matters (e.g., the sex trafficking angle in this book) and don't try to manufacture pathos.
Interesting idea for a detective but flawed

If you could sum up The Sea Detective in three words, what would they be?
Better than expectedAny additional comments?
This mystery series is one of the best. The character development is outstanding, even minor characters are three dimensional. Do not be concerned about eco warrier stuff, it is not offensive and truly a minor part of the main character. I hope the third book in this series will be available on audible soon as I am already loving the second book.Really great new series on audible, do try it

Flawed gem
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
A dark mystery, a window into the past way of life on Scottish outer islands , and another looking into India .
A brilliant young man who's knowledge of the sea gives him the ability to solve what has seemed unsolvable and a clever policewoman won't let anyone stand in her way.
I'm thrilled to have found this author and am going to listen to his next book immediately!
Excellent in every way!
