About this listen

Unflappable flapper and Town & Country scribe Daisy Dalrymple searches for a killer whose vicious pen matches a murderous heart in this delightful installment of Dunn's cozy mystery series.

In the 1920s, in post - World War I England, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple, newly engaged to Detective Inspector Alec Fletcher, is asked by her brother-in-law to discreetly investigate a series of poisoned pen letters that many of the local villagers have been receiving. When the pompous and unbearable brother of the local vicar is killed by a very large rock, dropped on his head from a great height, it seems clear to all that this campaign of gossip has escalated to murder. With the help of her husband, who'd rather she not get involved, Daisy tries to uncover who wrote the letters and who that person has driven to murder before the killer strikes again.

The narrator is so monotone. These books are actually funny when read. So many words mispronounced. No change in tone for new paragraph.

A pleasure to listen to, a nice way to get through the ironing and whilst on my morning walk.

Enjoyable

I thought I was listening to a well spoken English lady initially but then I got a hint of an American accent! Followed by so many mispronounced words! “ a cotton VILE frock” isn’t that supposed to be voile?
So many others which caused me to listen for mispronunciations rather than the plot!
Please, there are many well spoken English ladies , why choose an American ? So annoying!

Narration annoying!

This is a slight step back from the normal plots, in that it is totally a Miss Dalrymple mystery with the directive playing second fiddle. With lots of village gossip along the way, Daisy dose it. Cracking good read/listen to Mia Chiaromonte as she takes you along the way.

I can't bear to listen to the narrator. It's personal choice I know but having listened to a few of the books the "accents" really grate on my nerves. I'm really sorry to leave a poor review

I like the stories but ...
