    Carolus Deene is enjoying himself on a holiday cruise. On the first night aboard the Summer Queen, he hears a shout of "Man Overboard!" From that point on to the moment of Deene's unexpected revelations, the reader will find that unique mixture of artless fun and grim terror Leo Bruce devotees savor.

      This rather shallow adventure features Leo Bruce's school-teacher and detective Carolus Deene. Most of the story takes place on the cruise ship 'Summer Queen'. Deene is invited on a cruise by the owner,to investigate some nefarious happenings on board,and of course the obligatory murder.He is accompanied by his Headmaster,Mr Gorringer together with Mr and Mrs Stick,his Housekeeper and her all but silent husband. These characters who are usually so funny,do little in this particular tale to help to make the book more than just a rather pedestrian one.
