The takes

What we have said about Conrad Allen

  • The first Dillman and Masefield ocean-liner mystery. Conrad Allen setting up the formula on the real RMS Lusitania.

  • The third Dillman and Masefield mystery, this time on a Pacific crossing. Conrad Allen at his most relaxed.

  • The fourth Dillman and Masefield. Cunard's newest liner, a music-hall act in steerage, and a body that should not have been found.

  • The fifth Dillman and Masefield. Conrad Allen taking his ocean-liner detectives onto a P&O ship for the first time and getting more out of the change than expected.

  • The sixth Dillman and Masefield. Bombay-to-London on the Salsette. Conrad Allen at his most relaxed and his most period-comfortable.
