review 1: Daisy is a good friend, and visits with her are always fun. I'm not sure I like the addition of her twins, but so far they are not encroaching on the plot action too much so I'm okay with them as new characters. This was an interesting mystery and I enjoyed it, but I'm not exac...

review 1: It's been a while since I've read Gone West, but I've read the entire Dalrymple series, and they're thoroughly enjoyable. Daisy is a modern young woman of the 1920s from an aristocratic background who's married a former RAF pilot and Scotland Yard detective Alec Fletcher. The ser...

review 1: One of my favorite series, this one starts out as the typical English country house murder--although the murder itself doesn't actually happen until halfway though the book! Because of this delay, the suspense is built up and you get to be thoroughly acquainted with all the resid...

review 1: Ugh…one of the slowest moving stories I've ever read. I was looking for a cozy British mystery. I can't even relate what the book was filled with if not the actual story. It was difficult for me to believe the main character, Aunt Nell, could be so forgetful and still be function...

review 1: I've been jumping around the series according to what has been on offer on the Kindle deal of the day. This is number 18 in the series and it's as fluffy and fun as all the others.It's a bit "wannabeChristie" (as in Agatha) but not bad for that, although I get the feeling that Ca...

review 1: SPOILERThis was a good read, but I felt that the original policeman handling the murder was portrayed as making too many errors. Granted, this is not taking place now (I believe it takes place in the 1960s), and I know that police people are like all other people and make mistake...

review 1: Reading this immediately following the much more serious Jacqueline Winspear is a bit like a breath of fresh air--and that is not to take anything away from either authors or heroines. Daisy is a delight. No one is ever killed who isn't a bad guy, and the good guys who occasion...

review 1: Though not my favourite book in the Daisy Dalrymple series, it was still very readable and helped develop the characters further by creating a defunct relative who wills Alec a large house - just when wanted. For once, Daisy does not find the body, but inevitably sets about meddl...
