John "Slim" Hardy, heavy drinker and disgraced soldier turned bumbling private detective, is hired to investigate Ted Douglas, an investment banker who slips out of work every Friday to visit a desolate cove on the Lancashire coast. There, he walks to the shore, opens an old book, and begins to read aloud.
His wife thinks he's having an affair.
Slim thinks he's insane.
The truth is more incredible than either could imagine.
The Man by the Sea is the sensational debut novel by Jack Benton, a classic story of love, betrayal, murder, and intrigue.
UnexpectedThe chapters are short, and I was just getting engrossed with the story when it took an unexpected turn.Score: 5/5
Great book!I read a lot. Like, a lot. And so many books have the same plot. They’re so predictable I can call them pretty well (I read mainly thrillers, psychological and love stories lol.) This one was different. It was interesting and kept me guessing. I really enjoyed reading it..Score: 5/5

The Man by the Sea brings you there!This story draws you in and is a true mystery throughout. As an avid reader of all genres, I love a good story that brings me with it and so appreciative of a better level of writing then so many so-called 'gripping' novels that devolve into gore and slash..Score: 5/5
Really enjoyedWhat a roller coaster! I couldn’t wait to find out how, what, where, why, and who! I kinda suspected but wasn’t sure till the end. Slow in spots but a great mystery..Score: 5/5
Interesting, but left much to be desiredFun read if you don’t think too much about the plot holes and random jumps in conversation and thought processes. The synopsis had a lot of potential and I believe characters could’ve been fleshed out more but I was left wondering if Slim had learned anything; I mean, he felt for Emma despite everything she did that was messed up, but not even fully explored or explained. The writing style was a pleasant surprise..Score: 2/5

IntriguingI’m fighting Parkinson’s and read when I can to help with cognitive skills. What I like about this book is that it play out as a movie as I read it. It very draws you in right next to the main character..Score: 5/5
The Man by the SeaThough the story line was interesting and thought provoking the main character was wholly unlikable. Alcoholics are just not pitiable no matter how they got there. I can honestly say that the killer evaded me till the end. That doesn’t happen often to me. Most surprising and hard to put down despite my own issues. I may have to read more to see if Slim ever gets himself together. But then that would defeat the story line I guess..Score: 4/5

Unpredictable(Great to find an online book with very few typos for a change.) This book is spooky and the author keeps telling me it you guessing until the very last page. Slim is a likeable and reluctant alcoholic detective who sacrifices everything to solve a mystery. Well written and amusing. I will look for more from this author..Score: 5/5
