  • "In this second installment of Carola Dunn's cozy mystery series set in 1923 England, plucky Diasy Dalrymple embarks on a nother assignment for Town and Country magazine and discvoers that daffodil bulbs aren't all that's buried in a country estate's flower bed. Feisty flapper Dalrymple is a breath of fresh air to the occupants of gloomy Occles Hall in Cheshire, among them her former school chum, wallflower Bobbie Parslow, and the thorny mistress of the manor, Lady Valeria. While photographing the barren ground behind the house, Daisy suspects someone has been digging amidst the soil's first green shoots - and promptly unearths the corpse of Grace Moss, the missing parlor miad. So begins a harrowing romp as the dead woman's shocking secret is revealed."
  • "In England, 1923, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple has made a decision that, while shocking to her class, is in perfect keeping with the spirit of the times. Rather than live with relatives until she marries, she has undertaken to earn her own living with her writing. Her series of articles on country manor houses has proven popular with the readers of Town and Country and in February she travels to Occles Hall to research her latest piece. What she finds there is a household under the thumb of the ill-tempered and demanding Lady Valeria. The discovery of the body of a pregnant maid buried in the winter garden does nothing to improve Lady Valeria's mood. When the local constabulary arrests the Welsh under-gardener who had been involved with the maid for the murder, Daisy is sure of his innocence and suspects that the whole affair is consciously being swept under the carpet. Wary of the air of secrecy that permeates Occles hall and determined to prove the innocence of the young Welshman, Daisy convinces Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard to investigate the murder--a murder that is more complex and horrifying than either could have imagined."@en

Wodehouse-style) and mystery get equal time in a low-keyed story with considerable charm." --Kirkus Reviews "All the classic elements of the period 'cozy' are present in this new mystery. . .but Dunn uses these conventions to paint an engrossing picture of the uneasy, shell-shocked period after World War I--cuddly enough but with some notable sharp edge." --The Oregonian."@en
