About Daisy Dalrymple
The Daisy Dalrymple mysteries, set in 1923 in England, have been compared to Sayers, Allingham, Christie, and P.G. Wodehouse. Daisy’s father was a viscount, her brother was killed in the First World War. Rather than live with cousins or her mother, she decides to earn her own living, a bold choice for a young woman of her social position in those days. In the first mystery she encounters, in DEATH AT WENTWATER COURT, she meets Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, a widower with a young daughter. Sparks ensue, as Daisy helps/meddles in the case, with her own notions of what constitutes justice. In succeeding books, the conflict continues, while Daisy and Alec fall in love. Will they get married? Read on!
