Publisher's Summary
It seems that a low-rent Don Juan has been busily seducing the local womenfolk, and, in a town this small, no secret is kept for long. When the Fletchers' picnic is interrupted by the discovery of a broken body at the foot of the cliff, that of the philandering local innkeeper, the unflappable Daisy Dalrymple finds herself embroiled in a mystery.
In the continuation of her popular series, Carola Dunn vividly evokes the life and times of 1920s England, wrapped in a classic mystery to delight her many fans.

"a stronger entry in the series, eventually"
This starts off sounding like a YA mystery but by hour two becomes a well-plotted cozy with some good setting detail. Narrator Dunne just sounds too American, however, for a Brit cozy, and the jazz age tone she attempts is even less suitable in this installment because there's less humour and flippancy to Daisy, more attempted sleuthing. I've found the titles available to date on Audible of vaying quality but still hope that Audible adds more Dunne titles. Daisy and Alec seem to be developing into a more interesting detective team.

"I do hope that more books are coming!"
I do love the Daisy Dalrumple (now Fletcher) books. The "innocent" crime along with the underlying love-story, not to mention the charming lingo is enchanting!

"Wonderful - More audio books of Daisy needed!"
Where does Fall of a Philanderer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?This is one of the better 'cozy mysteries' available on audio. The story is good, the plot interesting and the characters compelling. I have enjoyed all of Daisy's stories on Audible and am so disappointed that this is the final one available in the audio version.
Please feature the rest of the Daisy series on Audible!
What other book might you compare Fall of a Philanderer to and why?Similar to others in the series, in addition to the Rhys Bowen books.
What about Bernadette Dunne’s performance did you like?Ms. Dunne's narration is rich and interesting. She brings emotion to all of the characters. A few times, she does sound a little too American.

"Snoozer!"
What would have made Fall of a Philanderer better?a more interesting story
What do you think your next listen will be?a different British mystery
What aspect of Bernadette Dunne’s performance would you have changed?Her voice has a monotone quality that didn't help to liven up the dull story.
What character would you cut from Fall of a Philanderer?all of them
Any additional comments?Skip this one!
