About this listen

The inimitable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher and her husband Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher seem to get a reprieve from their sleuthing duties when they are invited to the wedding of their friend, Lucy Fotheringay.

Lucy's grandfather is hosting the ceremony at his beautiful estate and so it promises to be a typical affair with hordes of gossipy aunts and other colorful, but not necessarily pleasant, relatives. Daisy meets all these characters and observes the ensuing familial fraternization with a certain kind of amusing nonchalance. That is, until Lucy's great aunt is found strangled to death in her bed. Lucy, in the meantime, has arranged to meet her betrothed in the conservatory, but when she arrives she finds him trying to revive her uncle, who has died - or has he been murdered? And just like that, a normally celebratory occasion turns suspicious. Now Daisy must sift through a throng of relatives - aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents - once wedding guests and now murder suspects. And she must find the killer quickly before another family member becomes a corpse.

Brilliant tale with a brilliant ending . Didn’t see it coming at all. Thoroughly enjoyable story.

The best yet

Of all Daisy’s books I’ve listed to so far this was my favorite.
Yes, there are a lot of characters and it does get confusing at times, but the plot is not very “thick” and it’s easy to follow.
I found this adventure more entertaining that the previous ones, and I think this book could be turned into a fun tv movie.

Alec Fletcher is becoming a bit of an old bore and too fastidious for my taste, but alas his character is here to stay.

I don’t mind the reader too much, however it’s true that Daisy and most of the other female have annoyingly high pitched voices.

I’m a little addicted to these books, so I will definitely listen to the next one.

Easy listening, my favorite so far

Perfect narration by by Lucy Ryaner, captures characters with perfection. I like the period setting of the 1920's, a time before the Atom was split

Enjoyable, perfect narration

This book had witty and creative characters and as ever had the charm that most of these stories hold. This was one of my favourites out of the series. I would recommend these books to people who like old fashioned detective books.
