A magazine assignment takes a murderous turn for that
intrepid sleuth, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, in
this delightful new addition to Carola Dunn’s mystery series
set in 1920s England...
Late autumn in the Cotswolds, and the countryside is a riot
of red, yellow, and gold. Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, six
months pregnant and blooming, is delighted to visit Edge
Manor, home of her old school friend Gwen Tyndall, to
research one of her articles. Since 1606, the Tyndalls have
held an annual fete celebrating the defeat of Guy Fawkes’
plot against the monarchy. But this year, amid the fireworks
and festivities, Gwen’s father and a visiting Australian are
found dead. It seems that Sir Harold turned the gun on
himself after shooting his guest. Sir Harold was a bully
with a famously short-fused temper, and many—including his
own children—might have secretly wished for his demise. But
could the apparent suicide really be murder? Now, as Daisy
investigates alongside her husband, Detective Chief
Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, an explosive
family secret emerges—one that a trigger-happy killer will
do anything to protect…
