About this listen
'An instant classic' – Daily Mail
The ship was doomed before it ever left port. His fate was sealed before he ever stepped on board. From R. L. Graham, Death on the Lusitania is an immersive WW1 historical novel set aboard the ill-fated ocean liner.
Welcome on board the Lusitania’s final voyage . . .
New York, 1915. RMS Lusitania, one of the world’s most luxurious ocean liners, departs for war-torn Europe. Among those on board is Patrick Gallagher, a civil servant in Her Majesty’s government tasked with escorting a British diplomat back to England.
When a fellow passenger is believed to have shot himself in his cabin, Gallagher is asked by the captain to investigate the scene but one crucial detail doesn’t fit. The man’s body was discovered in a locked cabin with the key inside and no gun to be found. Was it really suicide? Or murder?
Gallagher believes one of the passengers is a deadly killer - one who could strike again at any moment. And all the while, the ship sails on towards Europe, where enemy submarines patrol dark waters . . .
'This engaging and well researched mystery is perfect for lovers of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers' – Philip Gray, author of Two Storm Wood, The Times Thriller of the Year

Murder Mystery afloat...
A classic 'hotel' murder mystery tale. Cast of numerous, murderous characters and a 'hero' maritime detective struggling against the odds. They're all stuck on a ship which is also at peril as it steadily moves into a war zone. Lots of twists and unexpected turns. Well written, with believable characters and a great period setting. The ending (no suprises) is very well portrayed. Well narrated with an engaging speaker.
This was not my usual genre (SF, modern thrillers, history) but I found this to be an excellent audio tale that I found hard to put down. Will definitely seek out more of this authors work.

Must reccomend
An absolute gem of a story.
Written very much in the style of early 20th century detective stories, with a dash of spy thriller and Edwardian invasion literature.
The plot is compelling and the narration is the best I’ve heard on an audiobook for years.
I simply cannot recommend this book enough, and very much look forwards to the next instalment by the author.

Absolutely superb!
Beautifully crafted storytelling at its absolute best. The structure of the story, minute-by-minute makes one feel as thought one is actually aboard the ship. The narrator is also fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyable and strongly recommend. Next instalment in the Patrick Gallagher series please!!!!

Excellent narration
Great story with superb narration. There are twists and turns so you do need to listen carefully, and consequently I would probably have enjoyed reading it more than listening to it. But overall v good.
