Daisy Dalrymple, on a trip to the countryside, becomes involved in an investigation involving her friend Willie and her husband Alec. . Willie and two friends have bought a house. The three friends are part of the more than two million superfluous British women who following the end of WWI wee left widowed or suddenly alone because of the death of fiance or boyfriend in the war. 
 Although I haven't read all 22 of the books in the Daisy Dalrymple series, I was able to catch up with the newest circumstances of Daisy's life. Dunn does a great job of filling the reader in on the English social situation of post-war England. Her characters are likable and believable. I look forward to Daisy's next adventure.
