Although rumoured to be a secret dope fiend, Daisy and her husband, Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher, are sure he was murdered. Suspects abound - the devastatingly handsome Talmadge didn't need laughing gas to make his female patients swoon. And with scandals surfacing in a case that grows more tangled by the day, Daisy and Alec face their most perplexing mystery yet!
"CRIME & MYSTERY. In April 1924, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher must face her darkest fears and confront the one person she's tried to avoid-the dentist. But upon arriving for her appointment, she discovers the dentist stone-cold dead. The circumstances of his death are suspicious but everyone seems anxious to write it off as accidental. Once again it falls to the redoubtable Daisy to uncover the truth behind this case of murder most foul. Critical Praise for "The Daisy Dalrymple" novels by Carola Dunn: "Replete with well-drawn characters, snappy dialogue and interesting plot twists...Easily the best entry in a charming series." ("Booklist" on "Mistletoe and Murder"). "The period sense remains vivid, the characterizations are excellent, and the mysteries are, if anything, more perplexing than ever." ("The Oregonian" on "Rattle His Bones")."

"One morning in April 1924, The Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher finds herself in a most unenviable position. Despite her best attempts to elude the inevitable, she must face her darkest fears and with all strength and courage she can muster, must confront the one person she has tried hardest to avoid - the dentist. But upon arriving for her appointment, she finds the waiting room deserted and adjoining examination room locked with no hint of either Dr. Talmadge or his nurse. Thinking to leave quietly, Daisy's retreat is halted by the return of the nurse and, with the help of Mrs. Talmadge, the two begin searching for the inexplicably absent doctor. Exhausting all other possibilities, they resort to looking once again in the surgery where they find him stilling in his dentist's chair with the nitrous mask strapped to his face, the tank of nitrous turned on full, a smile on his face and stone, cold dead. While the circumstances of his death are out of the ordinary, there's no reason to suspect that it was anything other than a tragic, if inevitable, accident of a careless dope fiend. At least to everyone but Daisy herself. Sure that there is something more than happenstance and an accident involved in the dentist's untimely death, Daisy is determined to uncover the truth behind a case of what she is certain is murder most foul."@en

""Daisy Dalrymple -- now in her delightful dozenth outing -- has always been unconventional: First this daughter of a viscount chose to make her living writing for magazines. Then she compounded that eccentricity by marrying a policeman. But the oddest thing about her, as far as her family and friends are concerned, is her disconcerting habit of discovering dead bodies -- and then intrepidly investigating their unsavory origins. The otherwise stalwart Daisy does have one very conventional phobia: She hates going to the dentist. And discovering her new dentist, Raymond Talmadge, dead in his own dental chair isn't likely to improve matters. Still, insatiably curious as ever, Daisy is determined to fill in the holes in this case" -- B&N from the publisher (August 2007)."
