Resumen del Editor

In the summer of 1924, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher is off on a holiday by the sea with her step-daughter Belinda, Belinda's chum Deva, and Daisy's husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard. Daisy is anticipating a relaxing, nondramatic holiday. But Daisy doesn't have that kind of luck.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A lively historical cozy." (Library Journal)
"Replete with well-drawn characters, snappy dialogue, and interesting plot twists...a charming series." (Booklist)

Daisy is the real MVP

And the crowd goes wild for Daisy!!! I loved the latter part of this book. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I couldn't believe this. laughed at that. And was ecstatic for them. Such a good book!

Narrator so much better

I was able to enjoy this book so much more. Without high pitched shrill voices I was able to concentrate on the story. I really liked it.

Loved this one

As with the previous Daisy Dalrymple/Fletcher stories, this is a charming and engaging story, with a good plot, interesting characters, and an unexpected twist. I particularly appreciate the narration skills of Bernadette Dunne. I wish all books in the series could be performed by either Ms. Dunne or, even better, Mia Chiaromonte. I do not care for Lucy Raynor's interpretation of some of the recurring characters.

Best of the narrators

Lacks the mispronunciations of one and the somewhat squeaky, monotonous voice of the other. She deals best of the narrators with the descriptive narration portions of the story. Her character voices aren’t wonderful

Woohoo 🙌🏻

I loved this book and I’m so so happy the original narrator has been brought back, thank you so much looking forward to the next book in the series.

Much better narrator

Enjoy the whole series and the narrator makes a big difference. This one is so much better than the pitchy narrators of the last few books. Light and fun even if predictable stories. Great for a distraction in a different world.

Wonderful narrator

Where does Fall of a Philanderer rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

Any scene with Alec and Daisy

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I adore this series. I laugh all the way through it. I only wish you had more of the series on Audible.

Any additional comments?

The narrator is marvelous. I could listen to her all day.

very pleasant read

this story has a lot of guesswork and some outright funny areas! drfinitly recommend for Daisy followers

Slow to engage but...

Loved the story line - good, interesting characters. I've been listening to these in order so was very used to the other narrator. I wasn't sure I'd like this new one, And honestly didn't care for her voice for a while. But, after a bit, I got more used to the voice & the different voices - I particularly like her male voices better than the previous narrator.

Really Enjoy This series

I enjoyed this story better than some of the other ones that I have read although I think they're all very good. This story moved along really well and kept me interested all the way trying to guess who done it the ending was very satisfactory! I really like the narrator Bernadette Dunn I think I'm going to try to find other books that she has read.
