About this listen
Did one of them fatally poison the acclaimed mezzo? Or is someone else determined to see that Daisy's investigation ends on as bitter a note as Bettina's fateful last performance?
©1996 Carola Dunn (P)2006 Blackstone Audio IncWhat the critics say
"Dunn describes 1920s London and the characters in detail and highlights the interplay between Alec and Daisy. A snug read." (Library Journal)

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.

Loved the book! Loved the narrator’s voice!
I’ve read a lot of mysteries from the period and am so excited to find a new author (to me) to follow. I thought Dunn did an excellent job of capturing the flavour of the twenties. Daisy is so engaging, I found myself valuing the characters as she valued them, judging them through her mind. I was engaged from beginning to end and immediately sought out book 1.

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.
