For the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher and her husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, a long-awaited seaside vacation becomes a busmanโs holiday when a local Lothario turns up murderedโฆ but hardly mournedโฆ Ah, summer! Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, three months pregnant and fit as a fiddle, has been anticipating a quiet getaway with her husband and stepdaughter in the coastal town of Westcombe. But if death wonโt take a holiday, neither will the Fletchers. And the murder of town Casanova George Enderby lands Alec in charge of the investigation and Daisy stubbornly by his side. Itโs hard to find someone who wouldnโt have wanted Enderby dead. The married pub ownerโs scandalous seductions had earned him the enmity of every jilted lover and cuckolded husband in townโnot to mention the resentment of his long-suffering wife. But for someone, the insult cut deep enough to kill. Now, as Daisy delves beneath the gossip and into a small townโs darkest secrets, the idyllic seaside cliffs, beautiful beach, and quaint village pub of Westcombe seem nothing more than a sinister backdrop for a cold-blooded killerโฆone who may be closer than she thinksโฆ
