Another good Daisy Dalrymple story

Share/Like this Review?

Lord Westmoor invites magazine writer/series sleuth Daisy Dalrymple (Rattle His Bones), Scotland Yard husband Alec, and Daisy's titled mum to his stately home for Christmas. The earl himself may not be there, but several poor relations will, including offshoots from a younger son who died before proving that he had married his Indian mistress. Now one of the dead man's sons has brought an ancient clergyman from India who has such proof, but before he can give it, someone kills him. Daisy and husband spring into action, surrounded by historic armaments, secret rooms, hidden treasure, and family secrets. For fans of British cozies and Dorothy Sayers's novels, this is a very inviting situation.

I'm a real fan of the Daisy Dalrymple series, but I have to admit that this one was one of the weaker ones of the books, in my opinion. There seemed to be a lot happening, but none of the characters seemed more than one-dimensional. Even Daisy wasn't as fleshed out as usual. This read more like a tweenie.
