Deep Waters: Murder on the Waves by Martin Edwards

I have been reading a lot of these British Library collections and enjoying them, but this one is a bit weaker than the others. My favourites were "A Question of Timing", which is a genuinely sweet story about a disabled writer who gets swept up in criminal goings-on, and the Michael Innes story, "Death by Water", which is wonderfully, dryly funny (the dead man's friends start worrying about his mental health because he starts writing long essays on Schopenhauer, and start to panic when he writes a paper called "Existentialism and the Metaphysic of Despair"!). Not much else that's as good, though.
