| 摘要： | Having been assigned to review a fictional novel set in a maritime port, my own love of London meant that a search on recent releases involving ships, ports, and cargo was a short one. Republished by the British Library in late 2020, originally published by Longmans, Green and Co in 1938,I chose The Port of London Murders. Being a son of the Thames town of Isleworth, and a childhood in Richmond-upon-Thames obviously helped, this fascinating depiction of London, its port, and its people during the interwar period did not disappoint. The story is set in the 1930s by the arrival of a cargo ship in Tilbury battered by a Bay of Biscay storm, and the accidental release of river barges bearing its suspicious shipment leads to a string of murders and misdemeanours. |
