The Bloody Tower

Daisy Dalrymple Mysteries, Book 16

By: Carola Dunn

Narrated by: Lucy Rayner

In early 1925, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher - recent mother of twins - resumes her journalistic career by agreeing to write a piece about the Tower of London - the Bloody Tower - for an American magazine. Invited to observe the centuries-old ritual Ceremony of the Keys, she's spending the night (her first time away from her babies), since the complex is locked and guarded, and the high walls are surrounded by a disused moat.

Having been given a tour of the Crown Jewels, interviewed and observed the Yeoman Warders, and met the Raven Master, Daisy has more than enough material for her article and decides to leave as early as possible the next morning to return to her family. But when walking down the stairs, she almost trips over the dead body of one of the Yeoman Warders. That there's something seriously amiss cannot be denied due to the pike sticking out of his back. With her husband, Scotland Yard DCI Alec Fletcher, assigned to resolve the case, Daisy once again finds herself in the middle of a case of murder most foul.

Love the series and the narrator

My favorite cozy mystery series. Ms. Raynor brings the characters to life. I’ve listened to every book in the series at least once.

love these books, but...

omg the nasally snideness of the narrator got on my nerves. I wish Alec, at least, sounded more passionately enamored of Daisy. He sounds as dismissive and snarky toward her as any of the toffs.

Another Good Story

Enjoyed the historical background as well as the plot twists and turns, as always with Carola Dunn’s books.

Enjoyed Storyline

I enjoyed the tale and the telling of it. This narrator does a great job with what in my opinion is a very good story. The author develops the main characters while introducing the characters involved in this mystery. I found it very enjoyable.
