I have long enjoyed this series and this one is no exception Daisy is a sprig of the aristocracy yet not at all an elitist married to Alec a Scotland Yard detective This time she is recovering from a serious case of bronchitis in a small town out of the nasty London air She manages to once get involved in a murder mystery through absolutely no fault of own while reuniting with an old school friendOne of Dunn's strong points is her meticulous presentation of the times It is almost painful to read of the attitudes toward women in general and single women in particular Hard to imagine a women getting fired for the mere discovery of a body in her homeThis is not really a cosy although there are some elements small town England oddball residents of same etc but is really of a straightforward mystery Thoroughly enjoyable
