In the Spring of 1926, the corpses of three men are found in shallow graves off the beaten path in Epping Forest outside of London - each shot through the heart and bearing no identification. DCI Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, the lead detective, is immediately given two urgent orders by his supervisor at the Yard: solve the murders quickly and keep his wife, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, away from the case! Thankfully, Daisy's off visiting their daughter at school. But when a teacher is found dead, Daisy is once again in the thick of it.

As Daisy tries to solve one murder, Alec discovers that the three victims in his case were in the same Army company during World War I, that their murders are likely related to specific events that unfolded during that tragic conflict, and that, unless the killer is revealed and stopped, those three might only be the beginning.

Something out of the ordinary - high on Alex and investigative procedures, with a second Daisy adventure running in tandem. Appreciated the author’s exploration of officer vs enlisted issues left over from WWI. Daisy did stumble over a body, but was a few steps removed. Enjoyable, but wish Alex would stop downplaying Daisy’s efforts (at book 20). He should be smarter than that.

Excellent story - not the usual Daisy story

I adore this series. Daisy always getting mixed up in some murder and Alex always trying to solve without involving her. I appreciated the historical context of WWI.

one of my favorites

A fun and engaging read. Plot development and continuity of characters were spot on. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Entertaining and enjoyable

Daisy's husband is a whiny little boor & a bore. "Great scot, Daisy, stop meddling!" is a phrase Ms. Dunn really needs to lose in these stories! Meddling?! Please!

I wish Alec would stop being such a boor!!

The characters are marvelous... the plot satisfying. There are tidbits of historical fact, conflicts of conscience, humor. Well worth reading.

Perhaps her best.

alec and Daisy break their usual rhythm to do a slightly different story. I enjoyed this story a lot as I like all sorts of mysteries but this one is a little more on the tragic and dark side in this series. Considering the previous book was a borderline comedy that is interesting in itself. Anthem felt like a meditation on procedural thrillers using the characters the series has built.

as the book description itself describes the story is a parallel mystery with alec and his team working on a complex and disturbing crime while daisy trips into her own crime with her friends in tow. Both mysteries, and how they connect, are solid stories. That said I would have enjoyed seeing the school story as its own adventure. i still liek belinda as a character and I like that she and her friends are distinct characters.

as usual the author's strenght in writing characters and how they play against each other remains the strong part of this series and this story. she has built a truly strong cast of characters and I like that the characters grow and change in this series. Ernie Piper in particular does a lot more then he usually gets in other books and its good to see why Alec is nurtuting his career.

solid voice acting as usual and I enioy the character voices. good production values.

still unless youve read other books in this series and enjoy this series I dont think this is the one to start on.

a slight shift in genre

This one is my favorite of the series thus far! The way it wove together was fantastic, and I felt the performance was solid, as well.

Best one yet!
