Gunpowder Plot

A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery

By: Carola Dunn

Narrated by: Lucy Rayner

In the winter of 1924, Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher travels to a school friend's house to witness the estate's famous Guy Fawkes celebration. But she gets more than the quiet weekend at the quaint family manse that she was originally hoping for.

The home is the site of some severe family tension. The Viscount and head of the family is a strict and unyielding sort, insisting that everyone - especially his children - meet his own unreasonable expectations. On the evening of the Guy Fawkes celebration, the Viscount is found dead on the floor of his study, killed by his own hand. What's more, he apparently first killed a guest - a married woman visiting England from Australia - before turning the gun on himself.

Now it's up to Alec Fletcher, Daisy's husband and a DCI of Scotland Yard, to unravel the mystery and the long-held family secrets that led to this state of affairs. But a solution will require, perhaps, more than a little help from Daisy herself.

Not as interesting

Preferred the previous books plot. Less nasty characters. More interesting setting. The bad guy got murdered which is always a relief.

Nails on chalkboard

The voice the narrator used for many of the female characters was so shrill as to be very unpleasant to listen too. If i hadn’t been enjoying the story i would not have completed the book.

Predictable But still a fan!

Daisy is a wonderful peron and I enjoy every bit of her! The mysteries are not the most complex but the writing and narration are fun and I love them while working!

Good story.

Loved the story once again, amazingly somehow Daisy kept me guessing til the very end

Loved it

Enjoyed the story. Lucy Rayner is a fabulous narrator and Carola Dunn is simply brilliant...her writing is wonderful
