This is the first in the Daisy Dalrymple series which takes place in the 20's in England. Daisy is a flapper and would be journalist and is a really fun character.

and I can't wait to read more! Determined to be free of class distinctions that only allow her to marry or be a poor relative taken care of by others, Daisy Dalrymple is determined to be both a lady and a magazine writer in an age when women working is barely tolerated (especially if she is from the higher social strata--and in spite of being impoverished). And she proves to have brains!

I have no excuse for not having found this series before, but it has earned a place on my keeper shelf.

A couple years ago I read one of the books in this series and liked it. I ran across this first in the series on my Reminder List and decided to start at the beginning. This is a great beginning to the series, I found myself liking the main characters and wanting to know more about them. As far as the "who done it" goes, I was kept geussing until near the end, and then I wasn't sure it was really true. Looking forward to reading this entire series.

love this book and the entire series. Nice mysteries along with Daisy's budding love life without graphic details. After a few pages you will hear yourself using British slang/words

I expected a so-so mystery with like writing, but was happily mistaken.

A nice mystery with an expected ending. In some ways it is similar to other cozies set in this period, but was an entertaining read. With my emphasis on reading mostly history, I enjoy a light novel.

I'll be continuing with this series.
