Summary
In September 1925, Scotland Yard DCI Alec Fletcher inherits a large house on the outskirts of London from a recently deceased great-uncle. Fortunately so, as he and his wife, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, are the recent proud parents of twins, and their house is practically bursting at the seams. Though in need of a bit of work, this new, larger house seems a godsend - set in a small circle of houses, with a communal garden and Hampstead Heath nearby, the setting is idyllic.
Idyllic, that is until a dead body shows up half-hidden under the bushes of the communal garden. Now rumors of bootleggers, American gangsters, and an international liquor smuggling operation via black ships have turned everything in their new neighborhood upside down. Alec is assigned by Scotland Yard to ferret out the truth behind the dastardly dead - but it's up to Daisy to find out who the dead man is, what his relationship to her new neighbors is, why he was murdered, and who did him in!

Finally a DDalrymple story that is well narrated
Finally a story that has an appropriate narrator to do all four UK accents correctly. And thus the only one I have been able to finish!!

Not my favourite audio book.
Story OK but narrative irritating. Too sing song. I won't listen to this reader again.

Very very good
This installment in the Daisy Dalrymple series is a little different to normal. Not all of the drama happens around Daisy, or is seen through her eyes or related solely by or to her. The book nor series suffers because of this and actually gives a bit more depth overall.
Also, "listening" to DCI Fletchers ponderings on the different capabilities and skills of the men under uis command is really well done.
Definite character development occurring, not just sticking to the same write by numbers method that so many other authors do once they get a series going.
