About this listen

 This first installment of a cozy mystery series transports listeners back to the bygone era of 1923 Britain, where unflappable flapper and fledgling journalist Daisy Dalrymple daringly embarks on her first writing assignment, and promptly stumbles across a corpse.

No stranger to sprawling country estates, wealthy Daisy Dalrymple is breaking new ground in having scandalously traded silver spoon for pen and camera to cover a story for Town and Country magazine. But her planned interviews with the inhabitants of Wentwater Court give way to interrogation after suave Lord Stephen Astwick meets a dire fate on the tranquil skating pond.

Armed with evidence that his fate was anything but accidental, Daisy joins forces with Scotland Yard to examine an esteemed collection of suspects and to see that the unlikely culprit doesn't slip through their fingers just as the unfortunate Astwick slipped through the ice.

Not only does she mostly narrate in American, she tries to do a British accent whenever she seems to remember about it- but it ends up sounding Irish, Australian or South African. She couldn't even manage a proper Transatlantic accent.

It would've been better if she'd stuck to her natural accent. it was painful to hear her mangling the language so unforgivably.

It totally spoilt my enjoyment of an otherwise good book

Why such a terrible American narrator for period British cosy??!
