Black Ship by Carola Dunn

hirvimaki's review against another edition

3.0

Dunn's writing is always a joy and her capture of 1920s English society always thrills me. Sadly the quality of the mystery in her tales to waxes and wanes. This was on the low side. A charming tale but a thoroughly unsatisfying and even disappointing resolution. My love for Daisy shall pull me forward though.

Daisy is back and she and Alec have inherent a house and of course they find a body shortly after moving in, because of course.

This is the 17 book in the series and Alec is still second guessing his wife… it’s like he doesn’t know they are in a book.

Who knew that this book was the 17th in a series. It's the first of the series that I've read and I'm not sure that I'm going to check out any of the others. The book takes place in 1925 in London and provides some interesting insight into the changing social mores of post World War I England. The plot was thin, but on the plus side, it only took 2 hours to read.

One of the better stories

Lambert is back, and he manages to redeem himself. More friends are introduced as neighbors to the house Alec inherits.
