Daisy Dalrymple

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 Carola Dunn sometimes tries a bit too hard to get the language right. Sometimes it comes accross as a bit of an Am-Dram Bertie Wooster.But I still love these stories and will continue to read them whenever I come across one.
review 2: In March of 1926, Daisy Dalrymple and her friend Lucy travel to Appsworth Hall (owned by a manufacturer of plumbing products) because they want to include its elaborate grotto in their book about architectural follies. When the grotto explodes, killing one ... moreof the odd assortment of guests, Daisy and her husband, Chief Inspector Alex Fletcher, form an awkward collaboration with the local police to unmask the murderer. A light read, but Daisy is a very appealing character, with more substance than many heroines of the genre. less
