Ocean Liner Mysteries

The Ocean Liner Mysteries follow ship detectives George Dillman and Genevieve Masefield on real passenger liners between 1907 and 1910. Working discreetly among wealthy travellers, emigrants, crew members and habitual thieves, they investigate crimes aboard vessels including Lusitania, Mauretania, Caronia, Oceanic and Celtic.

Each voyage creates a closed community divided by class, nationality and access to private spaces. Theft, smuggling and murder must be solved before the ship reaches port, while the series also captures the engineering prestige, luxury and global connections of Edwardian ocean travel.
