Summary
In September 1926, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher visits Sybil Sutherby, a school friend now living in Derbyshire as the confidential secretary to a novelist. Suspecting that something is seriously amiss, Sybil has asked Daisy to discretely investigate.
Upon arrival, Daisy finds a household of relatives and would-be suitors living off the hospitality of Humphrey Birtwhistle, who had been supporting them through his thrice-yearly, pseudonymous Westerns. When he took ill, though, Sybil took over writing them while he recovered, only to see the sales increase. Now, she fears that someone in the household is poisoning Birtwhistle to keep him ill and Sybil writing the better-paying versions.
But before Daisy can even get decently underway, Humphrey Birtwhistle dies under suspicious circumstances and Daisy now faces a death to untangle, a house full of suspects, and a Scotland Yard detective husband who is less than pleased at this turn of events.

By this point
I think we can all agree that the Scottish doctor who appears in every book is actually one man who is travelling the country bumping off random aristocrats, and Daisy has been getting it wrong all along.

Good
Not my favourite and wasn’t different enough to be honest, it’s a shame that a better narrator hasn’t been found but she is the best of the lot so far. Thanks.

good listen.
enjoyable although I found the narrator's interpretation of the characters a little unreal and grating.

Pleasant, enjoyable
Run time initially looked long, however with the narration bolstering the realistic character's, plot twists, completed timelessly

Gone West
A terrific mystery, where it slowly builds until you are all turned around. Did not get this one at all. Read brilliantly again by Lucy Rayner.

Okay, but not the best of the series.
Not one of the best of the Dalrymple stories, rather formulaic and a bit repetitive. It is still a good enough story and entertaining enough for bedtime listening.
The narrator isn’t good at all, the voice characterisations are very amateurish and exaggerated, you just have to rise above it and concentrate on the story.

Very good
Another very good installment in this series, lots of fun. Only thing I would say is some of the female characters are a little annoying, I'm finding Lucy rather difficult to like at times. Otherwise love it.

Worst so far
Very slow plot and very easy to work out the guilty….unlike some reviews I enjoyed the narration, it gives a feeling of the time the novels are set….in this case it is much better than the storyline
