An entertaining historical cozy mystery with its very likeable and interesting main characters. Backed up by a cast of varied characters. A good addition to this series. sly-humor, small-town, small-business, hospitality-industry, class-consciousness, historical-novel, historical-places-events, historical-research, cozy-mystery, amateur-sleuth, England, local-law-enforcement, murder, murder-investigation, 1945, friends, friendship, theft, insurance-fraud, museum***** With the end of the war Daisy Moore’s wartime work under the Secrets Act came to an end. Then her flat and her mother come to a smoky end, and a friend introduces her to a sometimes actor who needs a general factotum at his Dolphin hotel in Oxfordshire where she also has to help around the hotel. Daisy did not find the body this time, but the man was a short term guest at the Dolphin when he went missing, leaving his nervous wife in the lurch. The wife believes that her husband has never visited the area before, but Daisy's investigation (after the man's body was found murdered) proves otherwise. Daisy is good at sleuthing, and war veteran DI Peter Thaxted is slowly losing his animosity towards her (interference) sleuthing talents. All the characters are truly realistic and some of the timely tidbits show that there was solid research done. The sleuthing is a really good deep dive into the victim's past, the plot twists are inspired and the red herrings inventive, A great read!
