Death At Wentwater Court
Dunn introduces readers to the aristocratic young flapper/journalist Daisy Dalrymple in this novel, the first in her series set in the charming bygone era of 1920s Britain. The wealthy heroine has chosen to throw off her respectable background and plunge into the field of journalism.
Her new assignment, writing a story for Town and Country magazine, finds her ensconced at elegant Wentwater Court for a behind-the-scenes look at life in an English country house. Expecting a lovely weekend in the country, the seemingly posh assignment turns sinister when one of the guests is found floating face down in the icy skating pond.
Although charming, this story seemed a bit tedious at times. However, Daisy Dalrymple has great potential, and it certainly merits checking out more recent offerings in the series.
