About this listen

With dashing Scotland Yard Inspector Alec Fletcher at her side, Daisy is enjoying a delightful performance of Verdi's Requiem, featuring her neighbor Muriel Westlea's celebrated sister, Bettina. But when all that emerges from the doomed diva's vocal chords is a dying gasp, Daisy soon discovers that the notoriously difficult opera star had her share of adversaries; among them a smugly philandering tenor, a burly Russian bass, and even her own vocal coach husband, with whom she shared a hardly harmonious marriage.

Did one of them fatally poison the acclaimed mezzo? Or is someone else determined to see that Daisy's investigation ends on as bitter a note as Bettina's fateful last performance?

I enjoyed the characters in this series. The stories are always very interesting and different. And Daisy is just a really sweet girl with a lot of ambition. She is very smart,and I think we have been lead to believe that titled women are uneducated. Well, she showed us.

very good book.

This series is still awesome. I give this story a 4 instead of 5 because I was not keen on the subject matter, but give a 5 rating overall since that is only my issue—the book is great!

Still going great!

interesting story , behind the scenes of classical concerts. Çluttered with too many characters, a few of whom almost the same: older wives heartbroken with wandering husband's they don't seem able to leave. some interesting refugee musicians from Germany who keep on at their craft despite snobbery. plenty of mystery to keep readers guessing. and some nice happy resolutions. delightful Daisy and Alec as slwsys.

narrator good with foreign accents .good story.

I stumbled upon this series and I'm sooooo glad I did. It is so easy to "read."
I really enjoy the characters and the plot moves along very well. I have over 300 books on my wish list and have combed through Audible.com. , so stumbling across such a fantastic story unexpectedly is a real treat.

Delightful English Mystery
