About this listen
Daisy Dalrymple is back - when a casual outing to the Crystal Palace in London takes a mysterious and murderous turn.
April 1928: Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher is visited in London by her young cousins. On the list of must-see sites is the Crystal Palace. Discovering that her children's nanny, Nanny Gilpin, has never seen the Palace, Daisy decides to make a day of it - bringing her cousins, her three-year-old twins, her step-daughter Belinda, the nurserymaid, and Nanny Gilpin. Yet this ordinary outing goes wrong when Mrs. Gilpin goes off to the ladies room and fails to return. When Daisy goes to look for her, she doesn't find her nanny but instead the body of another woman dressed in a nanny's uniform.
Meanwhile, Belinda and the cousins spot Mrs. Gilpin chasing after yet another nanny. Intrigued, they trail the two through the vast Crystal Palace and into the park. After briefly losing sight of their quarry, they stumble across Mrs. Gilpin lying unconscious in a small lake inhabited by huge concrete dinosaurs.
When she comes to, Mrs. Gilpin can't remember what happened after leaving the twins in the nurserymaid's care. Daisy's husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, finds himself embroiled in the investigation of the murdered nanny. Worried about her children's own injured nanny, Daisy is determined to help. First she has to discover the identity of the third nanny, the presumed murderer, and to do so, Daisy must uncover why the amnesic Mrs. Gilpin deserted her charges to follow the missing third nanny.

The Corpse at the Crystal Palace
The audiobook as well as the story are both fun and with more then a little history. I have loved the complete series and eagerly await the next instalment. Not only are the books fun but smoothly written.

Husband is an exasperating ass
Other than that it is a good story. He’s constantly demeaning and rude to her when she only has info to give him.
I thought he’d start appreciating her more but he hasn’t. In a rare instance, when he realizes he’s being an ass cuz she calls him out on it, he will be nice and give her a drink or kiss 🙄
I’d divorce the ass and open a private investigations office that kicks his police butt all over the street.

Not my favourite of the series but still good
The books are well written and the characters are pretty believable. The secondary characters are also well developed by this entry into the series. It is very easy to tell the characters apart while listening. As I said, there are others in the series I liked ether but this is also worth listening to.
