About this listen

It is the spring of 1923 and the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple is on her way to a stately home in Scotland to research her next article for Town and Country. On board the Flying Scotsman, the famous London-to-Edinburgh train, Daisy meets an old schoolfellow, Anne Bretton. Anne, along with all of her relatives, is en route to visit the deathbed of the family scion and notorious miser, Alistair McGowan. As it currently stands, Alistair's will leaves the entire family fortune to his brother Albert, and the rest of the family is rushing to his side, each hoping to convince him to change his will in their favor.

Daisy, meanwhile, has her hands full taking care of Detective Inspector Alec Fletcher's young daughter Belinda, who ran away from home and stowed away aboard the train. She barely has time to take notice of the intricate family feud taking place all around her - that is, until Albert McGowan is found murdered on the train and Daisy is surrounded by an entire family of suspects.

What did you like best about Murder on the Flying Scotsman? What did you like least?

a good old ripping yarn, that could have been even more engaging had the narrator been capable. She really is terrible. Her accents(or attempted accents) were appalling. May I suggest that for a very english story, you hire a very English narrator??

Would you be willing to try another book from Carola Dunn? Why or why not?

I would if the narrator changed

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Mia Chiaromonte?

Celia Emery

Could you see Murder on the Flying Scotsman being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

Yes the Daisy Dalrymple Mysteries would make a fun Sunday primetime series, I think.

please get someone else to read these!!

So bad in parts it became hilarious! Shame as the story is a gentle romp and full of little twists. But the accents and general destruction of the English language was insane!

Excruciating pronunciation !

story is good enough but the american narrator really struggled with the regional accents

good site but bad narration

This is quite a good story. Characters on a train who did it but the readers trying to do any accent especially a Scottish accent is pretty dire.

Not bad story

I have really been enjoying the Daisy Dalrymple series, but this one was a struggle. The story dragged on and was not helped by the narration, which had all the men sounding the same and failed to display any true emotion. I stuck with it until the end, but I couldn't get through it fast enough. Hoping the narrator improves with the next volume.

Not as good as the others
