Synopsis

Five days before her wedding to Detective Inspector Tom Mallory, Kate Hamilton finds her friend Sheila in need of her help. Sheila, a soon-to-be bride herself, needs Kate’s help to get Carl Curtis, her fiancé, out of Venezuela. His passport was taken from him by the authorities, and they say he owes them money. Carl says it’s a bribe, but he’s unable to leave unless it’s paid. Sheila decides to sell her grandfather’s coin collection, including a valuable gold coin presented by Queen Victoria to her great-grandmother. Among her grandfather’s stored possessions is a letter from the Queen. When someone breaks into Sheila’s house, all signs point to even more foul play. As Kate deals with a disturbing number of wedding-plan hitches, a fire in town reveals a body. Unfortunately, the burned-out flat is next to the bridal salon where Kate’s dress is being altered. Can the cleaners really eliminate the odor of smoke? As the clock ticks down to Kate and Tom’s “I do”s, Kate goes to Sheila’s house to help her search for the royal letter, but she’s nowhere to be found. The house has been torn apart, and Sheila is missing. Could Sheila’s disappearance be connected to the death in town? Kate will have to piece together the clues.

Goodreads review by Anna Catharina on December 08, 2022

3,5 Sterne Nach dem wirklich miserablen letzten Band konnte mich der 11. Band der Miss Daisy-Serie wieder richtig überzeugen.

I wasn't expecting much out of this after the last book & a bad review by a friend, but I liked it. Daisy & Alec are back in England without any Americans which helps the narrator out a lot.

Goodreads review by Elaine on April 18, 2017

If you want some light escapism this is the book for you. Set in the 20s Daisy, her husband and extended family investigate a murder in deepest Cornwall. Ms Dunn does the period very well and her writing style is light and frothy so this is an ideal way to pass a few hours.......more
