More than twenty years ago, Carola Dunn introduced to the
world the charming, vivacious and perspicacious Daisy
Dalrymple and the tumultuous decade of the 1920s, in an
England barely starting to recover from World War I and now
undergoing rapid social changes.
In early 1923, the young Honourable Daisy Dalrymple has made
a decision that shocks her social class—instead of living in
the Dower House with her mother and being supported by her
relatives, she’s decided to make her own living as a writer.
Landing an assignment for Town & Country to write a series
of articles on country manor houses, Daisy travels to
Wentwater Court to research her first piece. There she finds
a household in turmoil, filled with holiday guests and
recriminations. But that’s nothing compared to the uproar
when one of those guests drowns in a tragic early-morning
skating "accident." When it is learned that this was
anything but accidental, Scotland Yard is called in and a
young Chief Inspector, one Alec Fletcher, is called in to
investigate. And therein hangs a tale…
A series with all the charm of the classic golden age
mysteries with the kind of full-blooded, three dimensional
characters that define the best of modern mystery, the Daisy
Dalrymple mysteries have been a favorite for more than two
decades. Now, with this reissue, readers can enjoy it from
the very beginning.
