About this listen

Set in Jazz Age San Diego against the backdrop of yellow journalism, notorious Hollywood scandals, Prohibition corruption, and a lively culture war, Mystery at the Blue Sea Cottage tells the intriguing true-crime story of a beautiful dancer, a playboy actor, and a debonair doctor.

In January 1923, 20-year-old Fritzie Mann left home for a remote cottage by the sea to meet a man whose identity she had revealed to no one. The next morning, the barely clad body of the beautiful and bewitching dancer washed up on lonely Torrey Pines beach, her party dress and possessions strewn about on the sand.

The scene baffled investigators. Was it suicide, murder, or an accidental drowning? A botched autopsy created more questions than it answered. However, the investigation revealed a scandalous secret and, possibly, a powerful motive for murder.

After a suspect was arrested and charged with murder, an ambitious district attorney battled a high-profile LA private counsel in the most sensational trial in San Diego’s history that was followed avidly across the nation. The big question: What really happened at the Blue Sea Cottage?

I enjoyed listening to this mysterious crime drama, that unfolded in San Diego in the 1920's. The Narrator was very fluent but there were so many details to absorb that I found he was speaking a little too fast for me! I did not find it an easy listen, as you had to keep up and there were so many names of friends, family,witnesses etc to remember.It also diverted to other cases on which to draw comparisons.At the end, after hearing all the evidence and statements, the listener was left to ponder on what really happened on that fateful day and to reach their own conclusion..I thought it was well worth listening to overall.
