Publisher's Summary:
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Woman Who Walked into the Sea by Mark Douglas-Home, read by David Monteath.
The daughter who nobody wanted learns the truth about the mother she never knew.
Cal McGill is a unique investigator and oceanographer who uses his expertise to locate things - and sometimes people - lost or missing at sea. His expertise could unravel the haunting mystery of why, 26 years ago on a remote Scottish beach, Megan Bates strode out into the cold ocean and let the waves wash her away.
Megan's daughter, Violet Wells, was abandoned as a baby on the steps of a local hospital just hours before the mother she never knew took her own life. As McGill is drawn into Violet's search for the truth, he encounters a coastal community divided by obsession and grief and united only by a conviction that its secrets should stay buried....

Members Reviews:
Every bit as good as the first - superb performance
I confess I went searching for more performances from David Monteath. Having discovered The Sea Detective I plunged headlong further into the series. I find the humanity of his series every bit as interesting as the science of oceanography that was so front and center in the first book and continues to have a background presence here.
The depiction of a suspicious small village in Scotland is wonderful and the characters well developed. Loved it and headed straight for the third.
A Disappointment after the first book
I was actually intrigued by the info in the first book about sea currents and how the "detective" used his work to follow them. This book had none of that. It was a mystery with pretty stock characters and not about the sea currents at all.
Let me down just a little at the end..
Loved the whole story.. engaging, interesting, so well read... & liked the twists and turns near the end, but was very disappointed (&angry) with suicide of a character who could have helped & end up well herself, if she'd not been so daft. Also disappointed & saddened with suicide of her endearing cousin. Also. Wanted $$ provided for full & complete education of Anna & any other future children..
Can I rewrite the last part?? Instead of fizzling, it could have crackled!
Very soapy opera
What disappointed you about The Woman Who Walked into the Sea?
It takes too long to get where it's supposed to be, lost interest
Has The Woman Who Walked into the Sea turned you off from other books in this genre?
This is the second book by him that I have read.
