Summary Note |
In this second installment of Carola Dunn's cozy mystery series set in 1923 England, plucky Diasy Dalrymple embarks on a nother assignment for Town and Country magazine and discvoers that daffodil bulbs aren't all that's buried in a country estate's flower bed. 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 miad. So begins a harrowing romp as the dead woman's shocking secret is revealed. |
