Kurzbeschreibung
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 colourful, 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. Critical Praise for "The Daisy Dalrymple novels" by Carola Dunn: "Replete with well-drawn characters, snappy dialogue and interesting plot twists...Easily the best entry in a charming series." ("Booklist on "Mistletoe and Murder"). "The period sense remains vivid, the characterizations are excellent, and the mysteries are, if anything, more perplexing than ever." ("The Oregonian" on "Rattle His Bones"). "Daisy and her husband spring into action, surrounded by historical armaments, secret rooms, hidden treasure, and family secrets. For fans of British cozies and Dorothy Sayer's novels, this is a very inviting situation." ("Library Journal" on "Mistletoe and Murder"). "Styx and Stones is a swift, deeply enjoyable read. While Dunn's influences are many, she ultimately makes this territory her own." ("The Register-Guard"). "Reading like an Agatha Christie thriller, Rattle His Bones is a charming look at life after the first World War." ("Romantic Times"). "Dunn captures the melting pot of Prohibition-era New York with humorous characterizations and a vivid sense of place, and with careful plotting lays out an enjoyable tale of adventure." ("Publisher's Weekly" on "The Case of the Murdered Muckraker").

I'm definitely not in mourning after this!

Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Carola Dunn's Daisy books have been delighting me since I first came across them at the library a couple of years ago. Now I have my kindle I'm an avid collector of her work.
In this book, Daisy is once again caught in an upper-class murder mystery, in aristocratic surroundings. Witty and knowledgeable, Dunn's flair for the flapper era and the English class system between the wars is admirably brought to life in her laconic prose and understated humour.
An absolute winner!!

Deaths and weddings
5. April 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
Lucy Fotheringay is getting married and her old friend Daisy Dalrymple, now married to Alec Fletcher, Scotland Yard detective, are invited to spend a few days in the country at Haverhill - Lucy's grandfather's country estate. Daisy hopes to write an article about society weddings but that idea falls by the wayside when Lady Eva - one of the family - is found strangled. All the guests are suspect and the wedding has to be called off.
Naturally Alec Fletcher is called in to investigate one of the most complicated cases of this entertaining series. All the guests have motives for doing away with Lady Eva who is a great collector of scandal and may or may not be a blackmailer. When another member of the family is found dead in the conservatory things get worse for everyone.
Alec and his assistants - Detective Sergeant Tring and Detective Constable Ernie Piper - are totally puzzled by the case and it takes a few insights from Daisy to set them on the right track. I enjoyed this story - which is darker than some - and I thought all the characters were very well drawn, even the minor ones. I also like the developing relationship between Alec and Daisy and their sometimes prickly, friendship with Lucy. Overall this is an enjoyable read and can be read as a standalone novel though it is part of a series which started with Death at Wentwater Court (Daisy Dalrymple Mystery 1)
