A Mourning Wedding

The Daisy Dalrymple Mysteries, Book 13

By: Carola Dunn

Narrated by: Lucy Rayner

The inimitable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher and her husband Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher seem to get a reprieve from their sleuthing duties when they are invited to the wedding of their friend, Lucy Fotheringay.

Lucy's grandfather is hosting the ceremony at his beautiful estate and so it promises to be a typical affair with hordes of gossipy aunts and other colorful, but not necessarily pleasant, relatives. Daisy meets all these characters and observes the ensuing familial fraternization with a certain kind of amusing nonchalance. That is, until Lucy's great aunt is found strangled to death in her bed. Lucy, in the meantime, has arranged to meet her betrothed in the conservatory, but when she arrives she finds him trying to revive her uncle, who has died - or has he been murdered? And just like that, a normally celebratory occasion turns suspicious. Now Daisy must sift through a throng of relatives - aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents - once wedding guests and now murder suspects. And she must find the killer quickly before another family member becomes a corpse.

Loved It

I have loved all her Daisy Dalrymple mysteries. I cannot wait to see what she gets up to next.

murder or wedding

2 murders and 1 attempted murder before Lucy was supposed to get married. Sends Alec and Daisy into the investigation. Interesting ending.

Second Reading. Love these stories

Cute and entertaining. Keeps you in mystery which is what I love. Keep them coming.

Thanks Carola

Right amount of characters

Some of the books have too many characters to keep track of, especially the plots revolving around wills and inheritance. This story was a little cleaner.

A lovely cozy 'listen'

I enjoy listening to this narrator as the mystery unfolds. I needed to refer to to the genealogy chart a few times...hahahaha.
