Publisher's Summary

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.

Good period story

I would prefer a true English narrator as I found the bad pronunciation distracting. Good story though.

Why!!!!!!!!

these stories are not exactly high brow, but they are well written and fun. I was irritated by the terrible narrators of the first books, but then Lucy N was great......but now you've gone back to the shocking narrator. the only reason I am still going with it is because I can see the Narration goes back to Lucy after this book

Narration spoilt story

Unfortunately I had to stop listening, the American narrator over pronounced or mis pronounced so many words it was like fingers on a blackboard.
