Summary
Seething resentments, well-kept family secrets, and a savage murder set the stage for Christmas in Cornwall in this cozy holiday installment of the Daisy Dalrymple mysteries.
In December 1923, the formidable Dowager Viscountess Dalrymple has decided that for Christmas the family will all gather at Brockdene in Cornwall at the invitation of Lord Westmoor. Her daughter - Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher - is somewhat less than pleased but yields to the demands of her mother, especially as she'll be there just before the holidays working on another article for Town and Country about the estate itself. But the family gathering quickly goes awry.
Brockdene, it seems, is occupied only by the Norvilles - poor relations of Lord Westmoor - and Westmoor himself won't be joining them. So Daisy; her husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard; and their family must spend their Christmas holiday trapped in an ancestral estate with a rich history of lore, ghost stories, and rumors of hidden treasure and secret passageways with a family seething with resentments, grudges, and a faintly scandalous history.
The veneer of civility that pervades the halls of Brockdene, however, begins to wear thin when long-held family secrets threaten to bubble over, and one of the Christmas guests is found savagely murdered. With few clues as to who committed the murder, and with too many motives as to why, it is once again up to Daisy to sort out the truth that lies beneath a generation of poisonous secrets.

Fun Festive easy listen
There are a very few giveaway slight mispronounciations, but they are so few and the reader is so good the producers should get her to go back and do the first 9 books which I had to give up on.
This series never fails to deliver, it is not your usual overly 'romantic' setup with a graphic bedroom scene every second chapter, you could let quite young listeners listen along with a very few provisions.
The stories are varied, fit a standard sort of format, but you cannot always see the end culprit too early.

A good story, told very well despite a few errors
The narrator's voice and accent are good for the well educated aristocratic principal character - and she voices everyone else convincingly too. But her few mispronunciations (machinations, modish, castigate, fracas) are all the more jarring because surprising.
But 5 stars overall for a good story very well told.

Enjoyable story to read at Christmas especially
I enjoy the Daisy Dalrymple series in general but there are few audible books I can listen to as the narrators cannot speak as Daisy would. This book wasn't so bad.
There are references in this books to past history and pirates. I would suggest that before you read this book you read Smugglers Summer by Carola Dunn as this book will give a good background for the book on review. If you have read this book Smugglers Summer would still be good to read. Smugglers Summer is unfortunately not on Audible. I read it on Kindle.

Better than the last
The last book was set in America and I struggled to finish it, not sure if I did finish it , it was underwhelming. This was a vast improvement. OK it's a bit Enid Blyton famous five but in a good way. Narration is reasonable but still a few odd pronunciations. I think because previous narrators were so bad it makes you listen out for errors.
