About this listen

'An instant classic' – Daily Mail

The ship was doomed before it ever left port. His fate was sealed before he ever stepped on board. From R. L. Graham,
Death on the Lusitania is an immersive WW1 historical novel set aboard the ill-fated ocean liner.

Welcome on board the Lusitania’s final voyage . . .

New York, 1915. RMS Lusitania, one of the world’s most luxurious ocean liners, departs for war-torn Europe. Among those on board is Patrick Gallagher, a civil servant in Her Majesty’s government tasked with escorting a British diplomat back to England.

When a fellow passenger is believed to have shot himself in his cabin, Gallagher is asked by the captain to investigate the scene but one crucial detail doesn’t fit. The man’s body was discovered in a locked cabin with the key inside and no gun to be found. Was it really suicide? Or murder?

Gallagher believes one of the passengers is a deadly killer - one who could strike again at any moment. And all the while, the ship sails on towards Europe, where enemy submarines patrol dark waters . . .

'This engaging and well researched mystery is perfect for lovers of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers' – Philip Gray, author of Two Storm Wood, The Times Thriller of the Year

Critic reviews

Set on a doomed ocean liner, this engaging and well researched mystery is sure to appeal to lovers of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers (Philip Gray, author of Two Storm Wood, The Times Thriller of the Year)
Very much enjoyed this shipboard murder mystery with an appealing sleuth in Patrick Gallagher and a positive cornucopia of suspects. Totally absorbing! (Leonora Nattrass, author of Blue Water)
Masterfully weaves historical detail with an enthralling locked-room mystery. Impeccably researched, the story is not just a great crime tale, with a compelling central character in Patrick Gallagher, but a haunting imagining of the last hours of the Lusitania (Chris Lloyd, author of Paris Requiem, the Winner of the HWA Gold Crown for Best Historical Fiction)

Several unexpected, plot twists 

I really enjoyed this story, I wasn’t familiar with the history of Lusitania, but enjoyed all the plot twist in several sub stories within. I also always love Carl Prekopp and his ability to give each character their own personality through his voice.

Plot

The story had a fantastic storyline, but so many side stories that it made it difficult to stay engaged. I feel like the story of dolly, billie, and franklin took away from the momentum of the story. The last hour of the book was perfect! I wish the book would have dug deeper into the characters that were in the cargo at the end.
