À propos de cet audio

When one of four potential claimants to the title of Lord Dalrymple dies a sudden, nasty death, the question on everyone's mind is, "was it murder?"

In the late 1920s in England, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher is recruited to help her cousin Edgar - i.e. the Lord Dalrymple. About to turn 50, Lord Dalrymple decides it is time to find out who would be the heir to the viscountcy. With the help of the family lawyer, who advertises Empire-wide, they have come up with four potential claimants. For his fiftieth birthday, Edgar invites those would-be heirs - with Daisy and the rest of the family - to Fairacres, the family estate.

In the meantime, Daisy is asked to be the family's representative at the lawyer's interviews with the claimants. Those four are a hotelier from Scarborough, a diamond merchant from South Africa, a young mixed-raced boy from Trinidad, and a sailor from Jamaica. However, according to his very pregnant wife, the sailor has gone missing.

Daisy and Alec must uncover a conspiracy if they are going to stop the killing in the latest from the accomplished master of the genre, Carola Dunn.

One of the best in the series in my opinion. We get to see much more of the new Lord Dalrymple and Geraldine, and really come to appreciate them. The international gathering of prospective heirs at Fair Acres is fascinating, the villain(s) very evil, and the whole mystery has a very satisfactory outcome. Lucy Raynor is absolutely stellar in keeping the voices separate.

I think my favourite

I've really enjoyed reading just about the whole Daisy Dalrymple series and will likely listen to them again in the future. I would highly recomend to people who like reading mystery. Although each book can be read on its own, it's even more fun to follow the life of this DCI's wife and her husband as she always falls upon murders through no fault of her own.
There is mystery, humour and friendship as well as love in these stories taking place in between the two great wars of the 20th century.

very good series

Sick of reader

I have been enjoying these cozy mysteries but have noticed the disturbing trend of Alec’s condescension towards Daisy and her detecting efforts becoming more pronounced and quite sharp. I find that my enjoyment of the story is marred by his impatience and often blatant disrespect for his wife.
