Fall of a Philanderer

A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery

By: Carola Dunn

Narrated by: Bernadette Dunne

In the summer of 1924, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher is off on a holiday by the sea with her step-daughter Belinda, Belinda's chum Deva, and Daisy's husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard. Daisy is anticipating a relaxing, nondramatic holiday. But Daisy doesn't have that kind of luck.

It seems that a low-rent Don Juan has been busily seducing the local womenfolk, and, in a town this small, no secret is kept for long. When the Fletchers' picnic is interrupted by the discovery of a broken body at the foot of the cliff, that of the philandering local innkeeper, the unflappable Daisy Dalrymple finds herself embroiled in a mystery.

In the continuation of her popular series, Carola Dunn vividly evokes the life and times of 1920s England, wrapped in a classic mystery to delight her many fans.

Critic reviews

"A lively historical cozy." (Library Journal)
"Replete with well-drawn characters, snappy dialogue, and interesting plot twists...a charming series." (Booklist)

Narrator so much better

I was able to enjoy this book so much more. Without high pitched shrill voices I was able to concentrate on the story. I really liked it.

Daisy is the real MVP

And the crowd goes wild for Daisy!!! I loved the latter part of this book. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I couldn't believe this. laughed at that. And was ecstatic for them. Such a good book!

Loved this one

As with the previous Daisy Dalrymple/Fletcher stories, this is a charming and engaging story, with a good plot, interesting characters, and an unexpected twist. I particularly appreciate the narration skills of Bernadette Dunne. I wish all books in the series could be performed by either Ms. Dunne or, even better, Mia Chiaromonte. I do not care for Lucy Raynor's interpretation of some of the recurring characters.

Best of the narrators

Lacks the mispronunciations of one and the somewhat squeaky, monotonous voice of the other. She deals best of the narrators with the descriptive narration portions of the story. Her character voices aren’t wonderful

Woohoo 🙌🏻

I loved this book and I’m so so happy the original narrator has been brought back, thank you so much looking forward to the next book in the series.
