Resumen del Editor

When members of a choir start dropping dead in the Highlands, Maud McIntyre and her lady’s maid Daisy go undercover to discover the inharmonious culprit. But will they uncover the killer before another murder takes place?

Edinburgh, 1911: When Maud and Daisy receive a letter from Daisy’s cousin, Clara, sharing her fears that two sudden deaths in her local choir weren’t accidental, at first Daisy thinks her cousin is overreacting. But Maud’s detective senses tell her something is afoot, and so they make haste to the Highlands to investigate.

As soon as they arrive, Maud and Daisy go undercover in the choir to find potential suspects. But with one murder deemed a heart attack and the other declared an unfortunate drowning, Maud and Daisy have their work cut out when it comes to persuading the local police that perhaps the choir isn’t as perfectly in tune as everyone thinks....

But finally they receive a clue in the form of an anonymous letter. Enclosed is a rhyme that they’re certain holds the key to the next murder....

With the clock ticking down to another death, they know they can’t miss a beat—but will Maud and Daisy solve the mysterious rhyming verse before another singer is silenced, or will this case lead to their own untimely swan song?

A gripping historical whodunnit, perfect for fans of the mysteries of Helena Dixon, Verity Bright, T.E. Kinsey, and Catherine Coles.

Interesting characters and I loved the Scottish accent. I hope there will be another one.

Great Series

I love this series!! I really hope she writes more! Love the historical aspect of it.

Great cozy mystery!

I have enjoyed this series! The characters of Maude and Daisy are charming but smart! The narrator is not so good ar male voices but I tolerate it becuase the overall plot and characters are intriguing.

The narrator is incredible and the story really well written

I love how the narrator brings the characters to life showing all the accents across regions and society with accuracy. Intriguing mysteries, written with care…not too gruesome. A sweet set of feel good murder mysteries (if such a category exists). Really well done and difficult to put down.

Death By Music

Another Very Satisfying Scottish Mystery By Our 2 Favorite Lady Detectives Maude and Daisy! And Might I Add The Narrator is Fabulous!!

Fun Return for Round 3

Whilst I love that the mystery hits the ground running, I did find overall there was some steam lost.
However the enjoyable characters, great narration make for easy listening.

The author did a great job of providing clues throughout the story without giving away too much. I look forward to listening to the third story with great anticipation!

I enjoy these stories. Maude and Daisy are wonderful characters.

These are good mysteries with a good representation of the time and place they are depicting. They draw me into the mysteries and into the lives of the people involved.
