I've read it and was rather disappointed. Coles was evidently ill-at-ease island hopping in the relatively sheltered Baltic, and the narrative doesn't really, to my mind, get into its stride until he reaches the North Sea, where he gets involved in a terrific thunderstorm and ends up in Southwold, which, oddly enough, is where Nancy Blackett was when we bought her.
