About this listen

In the winter of 1924, Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher travels to a school friend's house to witness the estate's famous Guy Fawkes celebration. But she gets more than the quiet weekend at the quaint family manse that she was originally hoping for.

The home is the site of some severe family tension. The Viscount and head of the family is a strict and unyielding sort, insisting that everyone - especially his children - meet his own unreasonable expectations. On the evening of the Guy Fawkes celebration, the Viscount is found dead on the floor of his study, killed by his own hand. What's more, he apparently first killed a guest - a married woman visiting England from Australia - before turning the gun on himself.

Now it's up to Alec Fletcher, Daisy's husband and a DCI of Scotland Yard, to unravel the mystery and the long-held family secrets that led to this state of affairs. But a solution will require, perhaps, more than a little help from Daisy herself.

Enjoying this series. The narrators in general could do more homework and some of the expressions in reported speech feel a bit modern American English, but the stories are entertaining. Some of the accents are a bit odd too, but …Thanks

Very good

So pleased to have Lucy back as narrator. I found I had to listen to it all in less than two days. Bring on the next book!

A story I couldn't stop listening to.

Yet another great story in this series. I did guess the culprit from the beginning, but it was good to see how it all played out.

Always fun
