About this listen

In late 1923, the newly married Daisy Dalrymple and her husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, come to America for a honeymoon visit. In the midst of a pleasure trip, however, both work in a bit of business - Alec travels to Washington, DC, to consult with the US government, Daisy to New York to meet with her American magazine editor.

While in New York, Daisy stays at the famed Hotel Chelsea, which is not only close to the Flatiron Building offices of Abroad magazine, where she'll be meeting with her editor, but home to many of New York's artists and writers.

After her late-morning meeting, Daisy agrees to accompany her editor, Mr. Thorwald, to lunch. But as they are leaving the offices, they hear a gunshot and see a man plummeting down an elevator shaft. The man killed was one of her fellow residents at the Hotel Chelsea, Otis Carmody, who was a journalist with no end of enemies - personal and professional - who would delight in his death. Again in the midst of a murder investigation, Daisy's search for the killer takes her to all levels of society - and even on a mad dash across the country - as she attempts to solve a puzzle that would baffle even Philo Vance himself.

At last an excellent narrator, so much better to listen to, which makes these books much more enjoyable. Nearly gave up reading them due to dreadful accents reading so many words badly, I'm glad I didn't though this lady so good

It seems that there was meant to be plenty of humour in the story. Sadly, to my taste, there was way too much waffle as well.
Excellent performance.

Weakest storyline yet

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Jolly hockysticks, spiffing and topping. Always loads of fun and I really enjoy the characters.

Great fun
