Publisher Description

In this second installment of Carola Dunn’s cozy mystery series set in 1923 England, plucky Daisy Dalrymple embarks on another assignment for Town and Country magazine and discovers that daffodil bulbs aren’t all that’s buried in a country estate’s flower bed.

The merest hint of spring has arrived in Cheshire, and so has Daisy Dalrymple. The feisty flapper is a breath of fresh air to the occupants of gloomy Occles Hall, among them her former school chum, wallflower Bobbie Parslow, and the thorny mistress of the manor, Lady Valeria.

While photographing the barren ground behind the house, Daisy suspects someone has been digging amidst the soil’s first green shoots—and promptly unearths the corpse of Grace Moss, the missing parlor maid.

So begins a harrowing romp as the dead woman’s shocking secret is revealed—leaving Daisy to catch a killer before she too is pushing up daisies.

"This is #2 in a fun series I recently discovered. Daisy is one of the aristocracy in 1920's England, but she prefers to be "an independent woman". Daisy is visiting a country estate, intent on taking photographs and writing an article about this beautiful old home for her magazine. As she gets involved in the lives of the family members, a body is discovered in the garden. Everyone is suspect, and it is up to Daisy to finally figure out "who done it?""

Quotes

  • “All the classic elements of the period ‘cozy’ are present in this new mystery…but Dunn uses these conventions to paint an engrossing picture of the uneasy, shell-shocked period after World War I—cuddly enough but with some notable sharp edge.”

    — Oregonian
  • “Manners (P.G. Wodehouse-style) and mystery get equal time in a low-keyed story with considerable charm.”

    — Kirkus Reviews
  • “This traditional charmer will please most everyone.”

    — Library Journal

    " The book was fine. A light quick mystery. Just so many funny personal things about the book itself. First, the author's name. Second that there is a engaged woman, who's nickname for her fiance is Dodo. And third that it was published on my birthday. Don't plan on reading anything else by her. "
