One of the better ones in this good series finds Daisy taking a seemingly innocent holiday to visit daughter Bel at her boarding school for Sports Day while husband Alex of Scotland Yard deals with a nasty case of three bodies buried in a public park. Daisy being Daisy, she trips over a body soon enought, that of the boys PE teacher at her daughters school. Dunn does a good job filling in nice details about little known aspects of the WWI, including the problems faced by consciousous objectors, and the nasty way that some in the British military dealt with shell shock. The reason behind the killings is one of the most emotionally sticky ones for this cosy series. ( ) Well this certainly was a slog.... It took me 3 days to read this & I normally can read this series in 1 - 1.5 days! The book mostly features Daisy's husband DCI Alec Fletcher & his group of Scotland Yard men; Mackinnon, Tom Trim, & Piper. Working on the murders of 3 men, all tied to a tree shot & through the heart w/ noted pinned to their chest "Justice! Revenge!". Daisy is off w/ Sakari, Melanie & the three girls for a sports weekend at the girls school, where one of the girls finds the body of the most disliked teacher from the school in the maze. The stories eventually tie up, but mainly Daisy & Alec are working on two separate cases and rarely have any interaction. Boooooooring! Delightful Daisy Dalrymple mystery. I always like Carola Dunn's work. This mystery was not about the plot but the characters and the dialog. She does a wonderful job of recreating 1920's England (as best I can tell). In this one, Daisy and Alec are not working together but it turns out that their dead bodies' are connected. There is a mystery but you cannot solve it much faster than the characters do because that's not the point. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieDaisy Dalrymple (19)
In the Spring of 1926, the corpses of three men are found in shallow graves off the beaten path in Epping Forest outside of London-each shot through the heart and bearing no identification. DCI Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, the lead detective, is immediately given two urgent orders by his supervisor at the Yard: solve the murders quickly and keep his wife, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, away from the case! Thankfully, Daisy's off visiting their daughter at school. But when a teacher is found dead, Daisy is once again in the thick of it. As Daisy tries to solve one murder, Alec discovers that the three victims in his case were in the same Army company during World War I, that their murders are likely related to specific events that unfolded during that tragic conflict, and that, unless the killer is revealed and stopped, those three might only be the beginning.
