Summary
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 post - World War I England, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple, newly engaged 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.

Lacklustre
A rather tame and slow moving plot with too many one dimensional stereotypical characters.

Story ok
Story fine apart from odd word misused- unconsciously instead of subconsciously. Reader overall ok but lots of words mispronounced.

Nice little murder mystery
An enjoyable audiobook the narrator does better on this one there are no place-names to mispronounce, but still the irritating pronunciation enquiry

Poor narrator
I’m sorry to say that although I love these stories, they would be much better read by an English reader. The mispronunciations are a jolt to the ear.

Styx and Stones
This is a slight step back from the normal plots, in that it is totally a Miss Dalrymple mystery with the directive playing second fiddle. With lots of village gossip along the way, Daisy dose it. Cracking good read/listen to Mia Chiaromonte as she takes you along the way.

Another good story marred by narration
I'm very glad this is the last book read by Mia Chariamonte. she'll be great at reading kids books, but her accents and pronunciation in a British murder mystery is abysmal. I look forward to a new narrator!

Narrator
The narrator is so monotone. These books are actually funny when read. So many words mispronounced. No change in tone for new paragraph.

Unusual Pronunciation
I like the series and on the whole got on ok with the narrator however i was really confused at points by some of the pronunciation choices. Left me wondering if it was a slightly off accent attempt. I prioritises story over voice so it was not too irritating and perhaps people really did in the upper aristocracy of the time say peeq when they were saying the word piqueete. Worth listening to the sample to double check if you will get on with the voice.

Such a pity the pronunciation is so bad
I’m not far through and it’s already getting in my nerves! Aga, Gloucester, Regatta etc all pronounced with an imaginary posh accent that changes the word ridiculously!

Great minor characters
Enjoyable continuing story of Daisy & Alec. A well disguised solution. Plenty of entertaining minor characters. Unfortunately, it is terribly narrated in a toe-curlingly awful fake English accent. Littered with mispronunciations. Very pleased to see that there is a new narrator for the next in the series.
