reviewed on + 419 more book reviews


Meet Daisy Dalrymple.....a very modern minded woman of the 1920s, who wants to make her own way in the world by earning her own living. She has taken a job as a reporter (and photographer) and is doing an article on the famous home of the Earl of Wentwater. She has an advantage....she herself is a member of "the upper class" and is acquainted with all the folks week-ending at Wentwater....including a cad who seems to have a strange hold on the beautiful new bride of the Earl.....the Earl's daughter is infatuated with him, and there are robberies at the homes where he has visited.....Is anyone surprised when he is found dead? Daisy photographed the crime scene and the resulting pictures suggest that the death was not accidental. Daisy proves to be a valuable asset to the good looking Scotland Yard Chief Inspector. I really enjoyed this first book of the series and I fully intend to continue reading them.
