About this listen
Feisty flapper Dalrymple is a breath of fresh air to the occupants of gloomy Occles Hall in Cheshire, among them her former school chum, wallflower Bobbie Parslow, and the thorny mistress of the manor, Lady Valeria. While photographing the barren ground behind the house, Daisy suspects someone has been digging amidst the soil's first green shoots, and promptly unearths the corpse of Grace Moss, the missing parlor maid. So begins a harrowing romp as the dead woman's shocking secret is revealed.

"Set in a British manor house in 1923, this traditional charmer will please most everyone." (Library Journal)
"Manners (P.G. Wodehouse-style) and mystery get equal time in a low-keyed story with considerable charm." (Kirkus Reviews)

Enjoyable
Just as entertaining as the first book. Has a sweet comforting kind of style compared to other mystery books. Nice to have a few of the same characters continuing the story.

Not a good narrater
The story was excellent with twists and turns keeping the reader guessing. The narrater was not good. Her pronunciation of simple words was appalling. It rather spoilt the story for me.

Good story
Unfortunately the narration by an American trying to imitate a British accent was once again very annoying. It took me a while to realise that Barbie was actually Bobby !!!!

love the storyline
hate the narration - the mispronunciation of words. placenames, and slips in accent really take away from the book. I end up listening to the accent instead of getting immersed in the story. One out of many examples -one of the main characters is called Sebastian - which becomes Seb-arse-tian for the entire book. I want to continue the series - it seems fun and engaging but.... I'm really not sure I can.

A likeable heroine
This is an entertaining read if you're after a murder mystery with interesting characters, but without much action.
Bernadette Dunne has a pleasant voice as narrator, however her accent to my ears has the sound of someone who may have started off in Britain but has spent a lot of time living in America, and now has American twangs in the way certain words are pronounced, which I found jarred me out of the story now and then. Not sure if that's it, but that's how it sounded to me. Apart from that, I enjoyed her narration.
As far as murder mysteries go, the story has Agatha Christie vibes that I quite like; not too heavy, not too dark. If there is such a thing as a 'light' murder mystery then I guess this is it. And for what I wanted to listen to at the time, that was just fine.
The settings, time period and characters feel well researched and thought through, and I'll definitely listen to more in the series.
