"Think rural charm meets high-stakes intrigue, all wrapped in accents you’ll want to impersonate but definitely shouldn’t. Through a brilliant blend of narration, interviews with locals who were there, and some cheeky asides, the story captivates by highlighting how easily an unlikely group of underdogs can slip into the role of international crime-busting heroes."

"There are shades of the TV series Lost in Operation Seal Bay...So far, Operation Seal Bay isn’t so much a whodunnit as the story of how the baddies were rumbled. Operation Seal Bay has all the makings of an enjoyable crime caper, not least because it has a quality that, for me, elevates it above its often grisly true-crime rivals: the baddies may be looking at a long stretch inside, but so far not a drop of blood has been spilled.
