The Corpse at the Crystal Palace

fullDescription

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.

   • content: Narrator Lucy Rayner takes listeners to London and a tour of the Crystal Palace that goes horribly wrong when Daisy Fletcher, n�e Dalrymple, discovers a dead nanny in the ladies' room. Rayner immerses listeners in the 1928 atmosphere, which includes discussions of women's suffrage and changing educational standards. Rayner deftly moves among the accents of the story's many characters, including Scottish Detective Inspector McKinnon; Daisy's Indian friend, Sakari Prasad; various Russian �migr� suspects; and British people of various classes. The one questionable choice is the English accents given to newly arrived Ben and Charlie, who hail from Trinidad. Despite this minor detail, Rayner's performance gives the listener a fun sense of being in London. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

     May 21, 2018
     Set in 1928 London, Dunn’s bright and breezy 23rd Daisy Dalrymple mystery (after 2015’s Superfluous Women) provides an appealing glimpse of life among the well-to-do. When two teenage cousins arrive for a visit, Daisy takes the cousins, her three-year-old twins, and the twins’ nurse, Nanny Gilpin, on an outing to the Crystal Palace. At one point, Nanny excuses herself. Daisy later goes looking for Nanny in the ladies’ room, where she finds a dead woman she initially mistakes for Nanny in one of the stalls. Meanwhile, the twins run into the park, where they discover Nanny lying in a pond, half-drowned. The police are unable to identify the body, and Nanny suffers from memory loss. Are the murder and the attack on Nanny related? And who is responsible for these outrages, committed in such a public place? Daisy uses her connections among the “bright young things” and the more bohemian Chelsea set in an attempt to get the answers. Fans of Dorothy L. Sayers’s gentleman sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey, will find much to like. Agent: Alice Volpe, Northwest Literary Agency.
