About this listen

 This first installment of a cozy mystery series transports listeners back to the bygone era of 1923 Britain, where unflappable flapper and fledgling journalist Daisy Dalrymple daringly embarks on her first writing assignment, and promptly stumbles across a corpse.

No stranger to sprawling country estates, wealthy Daisy Dalrymple is breaking new ground in having scandalously traded silver spoon for pen and camera to cover a story for Town and Country magazine. But her planned interviews with the inhabitants of Wentwater Court give way to interrogation after suave Lord Stephen Astwick meets a dire fate on the tranquil skating pond.

Armed with evidence that his fate was anything but accidental, Daisy joins forces with Scotland Yard to examine an esteemed collection of suspects and to see that the unlikely culprit doesn't slip through their fingers just as the unfortunate Astwick slipped through the ice.

A nice and interesting start to a long series of 20s mystery books. Daisy has a great independence and I'm keen to see how the series progresses. Not as steamy as the Phryne Fisher books by Kerry Greenwood, but still very enjoyable.

Easy listening with intrigue

Likeable characters, slow-burning romance and a mystery that doesn’t drag. This is a generally happy and friendly feeling series despite the deaths, with perfectly suited narration.
I’m hooked, very glad it’s a nice long series!

Lovely little series you won’t regret
