The Sea Mystery by Freeman Wills Crofts ~ Full Audiobook [mystery]

The Sea Mystery by Freeman Wills Crofts audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When a quiet fishing trip in the Burry Inlet off the South Wales coast turns up a heavy cargo crate snagged from the seabed, local manager Mr. Morgan and his son Evan expect nothing more than a nuisance. Instead, they haul ashore a gruesome discovery: a battered, decomposed body packed for transport, with no clear clue to the victim's name, the killer's motive, or even how the crate reached these waters. With the case already drifting toward a dead end, the local police call in Inspector Joseph French of Scotland Yard, a man whose reputation rests not on brilliance in the drawing room, but on relentless, practical investigation.French approaches the mystery like an engineer, treating tides, shipping routes, and railway timetables as evidence as tangible as fingerprints. Following the faintest hints, he traces the crate's journey and the victim's last movements from the Welsh shore toward Devon, where respectable towns and ordinary businesses begin to look uncomfortably connected to an extraordinary crime. As French tests each theory against time tables and tide tables, the stakes rise: someone planned this murder carefully, and someone is still free. The Sea Mystery is a classic of methodical detection, where patience, procedure, and hard facts become the sharpest tools of all.
