About this listen

The inimitable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher and her husband Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher seem to get a reprieve from their sleuthing duties when they are invited to the wedding of their friend, Lucy Fotheringay.

Lucy's grandfather is hosting the ceremony at his beautiful estate and so it promises to be a typical affair with hordes of gossipy aunts and other colorful, but not necessarily pleasant, relatives. Daisy meets all these characters and observes the ensuing familial fraternization with a certain kind of amusing nonchalance. That is, until Lucy's great aunt is found strangled to death in her bed. Lucy, in the meantime, has arranged to meet her betrothed in the conservatory, but when she arrives she finds him trying to revive her uncle, who has died - or has he been murdered? And just like that, a normally celebratory occasion turns suspicious. Now Daisy must sift through a throng of relatives - aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents - once wedding guests and now murder suspects. And she must find the killer quickly before another family member becomes a corpse.

Cute and entertaining. Keeps you in mystery which is what I love. Keep them coming.

Thanks Carola

Second Reading. Love these stories

Some of the books have too many characters to keep track of, especially the plots revolving around wills and inheritance. This story was a little cleaner.

Right amount of characters

I enjoy listening to this narrator as the mystery unfolds. I needed to refer to to the genealogy chart a few times...hahahaha.

A lovely cozy 'listen'

This story keeps your attention from start to finish, with a fascinating cast of characters and a very interesting twist at the end.

Intriguing!

This one is much closer to farce (in my opinion). Many of the characters or their actions (especially Daisy, DCI Alec, and Lucy) are pretty much caricatures designed to entertain while trying to solve the murder before either Daisy or her DCI husband have their *TA-DA* moment. The publisher's blurb is a pretty good hook, but get ready to groan or laugh as the story unfolds!
Lucy Rayner certainly has a way of differentiating characters as well as emphasizing Alec's frustrations and Daisy's perkiness.

A country house full of suspects!

Lucy is getting married at her family’s estate. When all the relatives get together murder and mayhem erupt

Nice cozy mystery.

I really enjoyed this one - kind of the classic isolated house party in the country with one of the guests having to be the murderer. I didn’t guess “who done it”
Agree with some that the narrators voice for Alec isn’t my favorite but otherwise liked it a lot

One of the best in the series

As always Daisy helps to solve a complicated mystery while visiting with a friend's family . The mystery is well developed with several twists and turns.
