What Dunn lacks in Christy mystery horsepower she quite makes up for in her ability to evoke that certain atmosphere of 1920s England. Her ability to transport a reader to the labyrinthine stairs of the Tower of London is a delight and her talent for writing period pieces as believably as she does is a wonderful gift I'm happy she shares with the world.

Not one of my favorite Daisy stories. Faye and Brenda were fun, but the rest was rather dull.

Starting with the sixteenth book may not be the best introduction to a particular series—I presume that much of the character development may already have occurred, because there's little on display here. Also, while this is billed as being a 'Daisy Dalrymple Mystery', the eponymous detective does very little sleuthing—most of the footwork and an equal amount of the deduction is done by her husband. An easy read on a train ride; while not especially memorable, there was nothing here to put me off from attempting another in this series.
