Lädt ... Miss Daisy und der tote Professorvon Carola Dunn
   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 |   What nitwit wrote the publisher's blurb? Daisy is not yet married to DCI Alex, and the *very large rock* that caused death was a marble winged angel atop a gravestone. For those new to the series, the story can stand alone but will trigger curiosity. Daisy goes to the country at the behest of her brother-in-law who is distressed by some odd letters accusing him of misdeed. No blackmail asked for. Daisy does discover that others in the village have also received similar missives. Now comes the murder and her sleuthing has two goals! Good story. I did find that I could tolerate the narrator by upping the speed a bit.

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: Unflappable flapper and Town & Country scribe Daisy Dalrymple searches for a killer whose vicious pen matches a murderous heart in this delightful installment of Dunn's cozy mystery series. In the 1920s, in postâ??World War I England, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple, newly married to Detective Inspector Alec Fletcher, is asked by her brother-in-law to discreetly investigate a series of poisoned pen letters that many of the local villagers have been receiving. When the pompous and unbearable brother of the local vicar is killed by a very large rock, dropped on his head from a great height, it seems clear to all that this campaign of gossip has escalated to murder. With the help of her husband, who'd rather she not get involved, Daisy tries to uncover who wrote the letters and who that person has driven to murder before the killer strikes again.

Daisy's brother-in-law, Lord John Frobisher, has been receiving nasty poison pen letters and requests Daisy's help in unmasking the writer.
Unfortunately, this series is losing steam.
The portrayal of the small English village filled with dark secrets, and petty squabbles is atmospheric and reminiscent of Agatha Christie and Midsomer Murders. Nevertheless, this cannot compensate for the lack of character development and the humdrum mystery.
The identity of the letter writer is easy to figure out primarily due to the prologue, but their motivations does not really make much sense. Why would a
Since the next installment has a new narrator, thankfully as Mia Chiaromonte is simply appalling, I will be giving the series one more try. If it does not improve, it will be quits for me. (
