Mistletoe and Murder

fullDescription

In December 1923, the formidable Dowager Viscountess Dalrymple has decided that for Christmas the family will all gather at Brockdene in Cornwall at the invitation of Lord Westmoor. Her daughter - Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher - is something less than pleased but yields to the demands of her mother, especially as she'll be there just before the holidays working on another article for Town and Country about the estate itself.
But the family gathering quickly goes awry. Brockdene, it seems, is only occupied by the Norvilles - poor relations of Lord Westmoor - and Westmoor himself won't be joining them. So Daisy, her husband Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, and their family must spend their Christmas holiday trapped in an ancestral estate with a rich history of lore, ghost stories, rumors of hidden treasure and secret passageways with a family seething with resentments, grudges and a faintly scandalous history.
The veneer of civility that pervades the halls of Brockdene, however, begins to wear thin when long-held family secrets threaten to bubble over, and one of the Christmas guests if found savagely murdered. With few clues as to who committed the murder and with too many motives as to why, it is once again up to Daisy to sort out the truth that lies beneath a generation of poisonous secrets.

     Lord Westmoor invites magazine writer/series sleuth Daisy Dalrymple (Rattle His Bones), Scotland Yard husband Alec, and Daisy's titled mum to his stately home for Christmas. The earl himself may not be there, but several poor relations will, including offshoots from a younger son who died before proving that he had married his Indian mistress. Now one of the dead man's sons has brought an ancient clergyman from India who has such proof, but before he can give it, someone kills him. Daisy and husband spring into action, surrounded by historic armaments, secret rooms, hidden treasure, and family secrets. For fans of British cozies and Dorothy Sayers's novels, this is a very inviting situation.

     The eleventh entry in the Daisy Dalrymple series is replete with well-drawn characters, snappy dialogue, and interesting plot twists. As Christmas 1923 approaches, Daisy--now married to Scotland Yard Inspector Alec Fletcher--turns a holiday visit to Cornwall into a writing assignment. She must profile Brockdene, the historical estate where Lord Westmoor has stashed away some of his lower-class relations. Accompanying her to the estate are Alec, his young daughter Belinda, and Daisy's demanding mother, the Dowager Viscountess Dalrymple. Once ensconced in the old mansion, they get to know the quirky Norville clan, led by bitter Godfrey and his clueless wife, Dora. With its ghost stories and rumors of buried treasure, Brockdene seems a fabulous setting for a murder mystery, and indeed, a despotic chaplain is stabbed in the back, forcing a grumbling Alec to give up his Christmas holiday to investigate. Dunn gracefully imparts historical facts about the house--which is modeled after real-life Cotehele, a National Trust property--while painting a fascinating portrait of human nature. Easily the best entry in a charming series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2002, American Library Association.)
