Gone to Sea in a Bucket by David Black
4.0

And then ... click!

I was happily sitting in the sunshine, fully engrossed in the action, and then, came the end. No warning. Instead of the gradual, and often disappointing, let- down in the final chapter, the final chapter was all about the fight and then - Click!. An interesting and effective way to leave you wanting more.
Generally cleverly written and very immersive and believable. Explanations of nautical terms are weaved into the storyline very effectively. “Sangfroid” and a few other similar terms are overused but some interesting new ones were introduced which always piques my interest.
Overall, a winning combination in my view - an Ian Rebus of the sea. I’m looking forward to diving into more.
