In March of 1926, Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher and her friend and collaborator, Lady Lucy Gerald, head off for several days to a stately home reputed to have the best grotto in the country. Working on a book of architectural follies, they plan to research and photograph it.

Leaving her husband and young twins behind, Daisy is expecting a productive weekend at Appsworth Hall, with the only potential difficulty being keeping Lucy from offending the current owner, a manufacturer of plumbing products. Alas, it's not to be quite so simple.

At the home, they find themselves faced with a curious assortment of people, including the abominable, tactless Lord Rydal, who is rumored to be having an affair with one of the guests while in ardent and artless pursuit of the hand in marriage of another. When the grotto explodes with Lord Rydal in it, it's not a question of who would do it―as most who've met him would be sorely tempted―but who actually did do it.

I've listened to the series from the beginning and loved the stories, but I'm fed up with Alec's treatment towards Daisy. He constantly bereats her for "meddling" and doesn't listen to her when she talks to him only when it's convenient for him. Other than this, the story was great.

Fed up with Alec

This book was much better than the last one. There was much more development of all the characters. Daisy was only slightly nosy as opposed to being full blown Gladys Kravitz. Lucy was a major character once again. This one goes back to being a full blown country mansion murder mystery, and I liked it. This narrator still makes every make character sound like a special needs person.

Another fun and interesting story with several of our main characters. The story evolves and ends a bit differently—not a bad thing. Very enjoyable—as always.

Another fun read. Just what was needed for long drives and longer walks. To Audible-It's really annoying to have to keep writing to meet your review length requirements. I'd be happy to review all the books if it weren't for your "15 word" minimum prompt.

Loved it. Never could get the slightest idea or hint if which character committed the murder. Lots of suspects.

always unique

What happened to the ending? I usually enjoy these novels, but this one, despite its story, goes willy-nilly all over the place with an abdominal amount of characters and storylines! And the ending and rational for the story leave me baffled!

Too Many
