Leaves you guessing
The main character of Daisy Dalrymple wasn’t as Predominant as it has been in other books in this series. There are a lot of characters so it’s sometimes a bit hard to keeping up with all of them. I personally enjoy the clean language that’s used in the telling of the story. Period pieces are safer that way.

Fun mystery series
I am currently rereading this series because I enjoy it so much. The character is spunky without being foolish and the stories are well-written and executed. There is a touch of romance without explicit detail. The narrator is very good which enhances the overall enjoyment. Recommend.

“Requiem” brings down the house
Another solid vocal performance by Bernadette Dunn (no relation to the author?). Her British accents are top notch and help to keep the characters straight. Her pacing is also effective to the story-telling, dramatic pauses and so on.
This is the first Daisy Dalrymple set in London rather than another ancestral estate. I enjoyed the realistic back-stabbing behaviour of the operatic world, the references to music and the political situation (post Russian revolution) at the time. I’m not so sure about some of historical details incorporated into the story. Wondering about the feasibility (a Chinese restaurant in 1923?) distracted me from the narrative. However, the plot itself developed deliciously, with plenty of red herrings right until the end.

good listen.
I hope going forward some of the killers are not viewed in a sympathetic light.
though in book two he wasn't I was hoping for a cold-hearted killing. all in all, I did enjoy this one though.
