In the summer of 1924, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher is off on a holiday by the sea with her step-daughter Belinda, Belinda's chum Deva, and Daisy's husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard. Daisy is anticipating a relaxing, nondramatic holiday. But Daisy doesn't have that kind of luck.

It seems that a low-rent Don Juan has been busily seducing the local womenfolk, and, in a town this small, no secret is kept for long. When the Fletchers' picnic is interrupted by the discovery of a broken body at the foot of the cliff, that of the philandering local innkeeper, the unflappable Daisy Dalrymple finds herself embroiled in a mystery.

In the continuation of her popular series, Carola Dunn vividly evokes the life and times of 1920s England, wrapped in a classic mystery to delight her many fans.

I was able to enjoy this book so much more. Without high pitched shrill voices I was able to concentrate on the story. I really liked it.

Narrator so much better

And the crowd goes wild for Daisy!!! I loved the latter part of this book. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I couldn't believe this. laughed at that. And was ecstatic for them. Such a good book!

Daisy is the real MVP

As with the previous Daisy Dalrymple/Fletcher stories, this is a charming and engaging story, with a good plot, interesting characters, and an unexpected twist. I particularly appreciate the narration skills of Bernadette Dunne. I wish all books in the series could be performed by either Ms. Dunne or, even better, Mia Chiaromonte. I do not care for Lucy Raynor's interpretation of some of the recurring characters.

Loved this one

Lacks the mispronunciations of one and the somewhat squeaky, monotonous voice of the other. She deals best of the narrators with the descriptive narration portions of the story. Her character voices aren’t wonderful

Best of the narrators

I loved this book and I’m so so happy the original narrator has been brought back, thank you so much looking forward to the next book in the series.

Woohoo 🙌🏻

Enjoy the whole series and the narrator makes a big difference. This one is so much better than the pitchy narrators of the last few books. Light and fun even if predictable stories. Great for a distraction in a different world.

Much better narrator

Loved the story line - good, interesting characters. I've been listening to these in order so was very used to the other narrator. I wasn't sure I'd like this new one, And honestly didn't care for her voice for a while. But, after a bit, I got more used to the voice & the different voices - I particularly like her male voices better than the previous narrator.

Slow to engage but...

I enjoyed this story better than some of the other ones that I have read although I think they're all very good. This story moved along really well and kept me interested all the way trying to guess who done it the ending was very satisfactory! I really like the narrator Bernadette Dunn I think I'm going to try to find other books that she has read.

Really Enjoy This series
