Had it not been for Jessica Ennis and Mo Farrar et al i probably would have finished this ages ago. It is an easy quick read of the Agatha Christie school though the plot is nowhere near as well set up. This is the first of the series that i have opened and it teeters on the edge of whether I will bother to open any others. It was a perfectly serviceable story involving a murder, lots of suspects, over the top characters and a solution with some love interest thrown in but that was its problem.....more Had it not been for Jessica Ennis and Mo Farrar et al i probably would have finished this ages ago. It is an easy quick read of the Agatha Christie school though the plot is nowhere near as well set up. This is the first of the series that i have opened and it teeters on the edge of whether I will bother to open any others. It was a perfectly serviceable story involving a murder, lots of suspects, over the top characters and a solution with some love interest thrown in but that was its problem.....oodles of writers have blazed this trail before and Dunn seems just to be trailing along in the cinders left by the passing flames.

The story is set in the early 1920's and everything that could be crammed into the story is crammed in. We have, in the space of 232 pages, references and links to the Russian Revolution, the 'Great War', the weird new fashions of hairstyle and dress, the clash of the old pre-War society and the thrusting new one, the seeking of new career paths and the seeking after female independance, the rise of the 'lower classes' and the ebbing away of the 'upper class' but it all rings pretty hollow. All the characters, whether good or bad, are so telegraphed ahead that it would take a total idiot not to know where the story is going. I am rubbish at guessing the murderers in stuff and yet I knew from far back in the book who did the deed. Dunn tried far too hard to tell us which characters we were supposed to like and loathe, the ones we were supposed to smile at and those we were to sneer at. When it suited her story, infidelity was to be tutted over and frowned upon but then at other times it was presented as the path to release and fulfillment. Come on Dunn, lets have a bit of consistency here.

Our heroine, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple, is the daughter of an aristo but she is only honourable cos her title could not be inherited by a woman but passes to the next male heir, a cousin. Her burgeoning romance with the Detective Chief Inspector enables all sorts of predictable plotlines to move forward. There are also heavy doses of anti-semitism from many of the characters which, though sadly present in society at this time, is rather laid on with the proverbial trowel. There are excitable foreigners and mousey sisters, bitchey sopranos and lustful tenors and there is even a ridiculously unsympathetic vicar thrown in for good measure. Cliche after cliche, exaggeration after exaggeration. Not particularly bad but not particularly good. I would say this is a 2.5 leading to a 3. An easy read for times when you are likely to be interrupted a good deal. Train journeys, waiting in the dentist, stuck in traffic but not a book that brings you into a real place.

Now here comes a diatribe from me and apologies ahead of time but you can always miss this bit out. She and 'all her set' talk in that ridiculously stupid way that only characters in books written about the 1920's or 30's ever speak. I mean seriously, did anybody on God's earth ever say 'spiffing' or 'ripping' or 'you are a duffer' or other such inanities anywhere other than in the imagination of writers desperate to create a social strata that, though it really existed, would no more have spoken in such stupid, clipped ways than would people now really grab their groins for no apparent reason, poke the air with their hands as they speak and say innit and kinda and bro and the other inarticulate nonsense that has been created as the new 'youff speak' had it not been made clear that that is the cool way to speak.

Actually thinking about it, perhaps Dunn is right, maybe they did talk in such stupidly effected ways because peer pressure, as we see every day on the media, can create empty, meaningless inarticulate nonsense and so, just as i am pleased I am too old to bow to pressure and tug on my groin in public to punctuate anything I might have to say, so i am also pleased that I was spared the inane, pretentious drivel of the flapper era......maybe that is why i don't like PG Wodehouse.

WHUMP.....that was me climbing off my soapbox(less)

I got excited when the second book of this series was pretty good. I was hoping for some sort of steady upward progression. Unfortunately, Dunn took another dip with book three. Although the main plot is well developed, several tangents remain cloudy and, well, tangential. The story centers on the poisoning of Bettina Westlea, a successful but spiteful soprano. Daisy, a friend of the deceased sister, decides to help Alec Fletcher investigate. There is no lack of suspects, since Bettina had many...more

The Honorable Daisy Dalrymple writes magazine articles for a living and for fun, pokes her nose into the cases of her friend, Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard. In this, the third book of the series, the attraction between Daisy and Alec continues to deepen while they sort out their class differences. This book is ostensibly about the murder investigation of an unpleasant opera singer, but the mystery is so far from thrilling that only my affection for the main characters kept me reading....more

This review is from: Requiem for a Mezzo (Daisy Dalrymple Mysteries, No. 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my 3rd Daisy Dalrymple Mystery and the 3rd in this series. Preceeded by #1-Death at Wentwater Court , #2-The Winter Garden Mystery.
Although I don't usually read historical mysteries, I've found the Daisy Dalrymple series refreshingly different from the usual cozy and beautifully written by Carola Dunn.
This entry has Daisy on hiatus from writing her usual journal articles and residing in the London area. It's 1923 in England and Daisy has been given 2 tickets to attend the Requiem at Albert's Hall. She'll be attending with none other than Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher. It cannot be called an actual date since Daisy asked him to attend with her on the pretense that she has 2 tickets and nothing more...or is it?
Daisy received these tickets from her neighbor, Muriel Westlea, the sister of Bettina (Westlea) Abernathy, the mezzo singer. While Alec & Daisy are enjoying the performance Bettina collapses to the floor and is pronounced dead. Alec immediately is in take charge mode and has the exits closed while suspects are interviewed.

As the mystery evolves (and an attempted murder takes place) I become more involved with the characters and Inspector Alec's deductions. This book takes Daisy and Chief Inspector Alec to a new level in their relationship both personal and in working together in solving this case.
This series is a delightful change due to the author's incredible research of Britain during the 1920's. The culture with it's class distinctions and dialect make reading this series a learning process for me. I also appreciate the variety of locations for each book.
I highly recommend this book and the Daisy Dalrymple series to any cozy lovers who might enjoy a refreshing change from the expected & usual in mysteries.

'Daisy! Don't tell me you've fallen over another dead body?' This is a question that Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher asks Daisy Dalrymple on page 15 of this sparkling mystery novel.

By page 43 Bettina Westlea, singing mezzo soprano in Verdi's 'Requiem', is killed and Tom Tring, one of Fletcher's men who were called in from Scotland Yard by Daisy, is pronouncing to his boss, 'I'm afraid she ... well, she's managed to get mixed up in things again. One of our suspects is a friend of hers.'

After the very good first two books to the Daisy Dalrymple series, Requiem for a Mezzo was a trifle disappointing. I still quite enjoyed it; the main characters and most of the murder suspects were actually very likeable, the historical setting was just as wonderfully crafted as it was in the previous books... but I couldn't help but feel that there was a factor missing in comparison.

I still quite enjoyed it; the main characters and most of the murder suspects were actually very likeable, the historical setting was just as wonderfully crafted as it was in the previous books... but I couldn't help but feel that there was a factor missing in comparison.

Firstly, I was disappointed when I realized that Dunn had moved away from the country manor house settings of the first two books. Perhaps this will be better developed later (and I will adjust), but here it only had the effect of reducing Daisy's appearances and her time spent with Alec. When Daisy was bound to a close-knitted group of suspects living in the same house, with her friend and romantic interest Inspector Alec Fletcher in the mix, we got to see her interacting with all of them more or less equally and became familiar with them that way. Here, I felt the lack of balance rather keenly; Daisy spent almost all her time with Muriel Westlea and Roger Abernathy! They became like sympathetic old friends, while the side plots related to the other suspects (like Mrs. Gower, for example) was akin to an afterthought.

The book also suffered a bit from the comparative reduction in interaction between Daisy and Alec that I mentioned previously. Since Alec was free to move about between the suspects and he spent an inordinate amount of time trying to keep Daisy away from the case, the result was less of that extremely interesting interplay between them that I so enjoyed from the previous two books. I also missed the presence of Phillip Petrie, Daisy's rather silly but well-meaning friend. Everything from his speech to his actions creates inadverdent humour, and the story could have used some of that.

I thought the mystery was reasonably interesting and well-plotted, but the amount of time spent dealing with Muriel Westlea's personal issues made the middle of the book drag quite a bit. Dunn has the talent of producing the kind of murder mystery that reminds me of a classic Poirot novel, though; despite the imbalance of time spent amongst the suspects, there's good character development and you begin to like some of them so much that you desperately wish they won't turn out to be the murderer. It's too bad the final reveal was so anticlimatic.

But despite some issues mentioned above that bothered me a bit, I still liked it and am totally invested in the main characters at this point. Alec and Daisy's relationship is developing at a lovely, steady pace; it occurred to me as I typed this that I'm really enjoying how honest and wonderfully normal their romance is. The ending promises some very interesting developments, too. I'll be checking out the next book to see how that goes.(less)

Life between the wars in London for an Honorable lady can be dicey if you want to be independent.

In this third outing, she's in London and she has made friends with the musical family next door.

Fairly light mystery, supposed to take place in London in the 1920s. There didn’t really seem much to define the time period it took place in other than hair styles and cars specifically mentioned by model. I looked them up and that’s when they came out.

You can count on the Daisy Dalrymple series to contain interesting and varied characters in the 1920s, post-WWI Britain era - aristocrats, middle class, servants, and just about everyone "in-between". They're solid books, easy to read, not too taxing on the brain, and generally provide the reader with all the necessary clues to solve the mystery. Sometimes, the clues come early and the murderer is obvious - as in this book. But they're delightful reads, mostly because of the main characters: Daisy (the "Honorable"), Chief Detective Inspector Alec Fletcher (a love interest for Daisy), Lucy (Daisy's friend and flat-mate), Philip Petrie (childhood friend), and Alec's fellow Scotland Yard men: Sergeant Tripe and Ernie Piper.

In this book, Alec and Daisy are out on a date, attending a matinee performance of an opera, Verdi's Requiem, when the Mezzo-Soprano, Daisy's next-door neighbor, Bettina (Elizabeth "Betsy") Westlea (aka Mrs. Roger Abernathy) dies on-stage, just before one of her big solo parts. Bettina had just taken a drink of her wine, when she sputtered and choked, and then fell. The bitter smell of almonds was everywhere. But was it truly cyanide poisoning? Because Bettina drank ratafia, a British "lady's" liquer made from the same peach and almond pits as cyanide and with the distinct almond odor and flavor.

And who killed Bettina? Her downtrod sister, Muriel, who was in the Chorus - never the golden-haired, beautiful favorite like her sister, Muriel was expected to take care of her sister by her parents and her sister. She saw to Bettina's every need, and even lived with Bettina and her husband, Roger, in London as a sort of housekeeper. Bettina had interfered constantly in Muriel's life, selfishly claiming every ounce of attention and glory. And when Yacov Levich, a Russian Jew who plays the violin in the orchestra, started paying attention to Muriel, Bettina threatened to tell their parents, effectively putting an end to any hopes Muriel might have had of a relationship.

Was it her sainted husband, Roger Abernathy? Bettina only married the older man because he was her ticket out of Hampshire -- he offered marriage and vocal lessons... and possible connections. But Roger wasn't young, gorgeous, or rich. And he had a heart condition. And he knew of Bettina's many love affairs. Did he really love her enough to overlook those infidelities and the crass, cruel way she treated him? Bettina even left all her worldly goods to her sister Muriel, not her husband - another slap in Roger's face?

Was it Yacov, trying to make the way for himself with Muriel?

Was it one of Bettina's many former or current lovers? Gower, the tenor, who usually preferred the exotic foreign beauties, but chose Bettina and promised to use his influence to push her career farther and higher? Mrs. Gower, who put up with foreign mistresses, because Mr. Gower always came back to her and the husband at the end of the season; was she afraid that the British Mezzo-Soprano would steal her husband away for good? The Ukrainian bass, Marachenko, who had given Bettina a fortune in smuggled Russian jewels -- the same man she'd publicly slapped and called names, shaming and embarassing him?

Was it the conductor, Cochrane? He showed up to her house weekly... but it wasn't for Bettina, it was for Oliva Blaise, taking voice lessons with Roger. Bettina threatened to reveal their affair to Mrs. Cochrane. Did Cochrane kill her to prevent her from tattling? Or did Olivia try to protect her lover? Or was Olivia trying to eliminate her competition? After all, Olivia was to have the Mezzo-Soprano role before Bettina blackmailed her way into it. Or was it Mrs. Cochrane, the older, rich woman whom Cochrane married for position and money? Mrs. C is almost another Lady MacBeth, willing to do whatever it took to further her husband's career and secure a baronetcy or knighthood for him.

And will Daisy and Alec ever have a real date without a murder interfering?
--------------
There is always a large and varied cast of characters in these books, and sometimes it takes a bit to sort out who is whom. This book is no exception.

It's interesting to watch Alec walk the tightrope between professional and personal... see him struggle with Daisy being involved in his murder investigations, yet know that he can rely on her to find info and help get to the truth. Daisy is also walking her own tightrope, falling for Alec but dealing with the lines between the classes, somewhat blurred by the war, and yet firm in the minds of many; upper-class aristocrats and middle-class policemen (however educated) don't mix socially or personally.

Good read!(less)

Picked from a bookstand in a hospital atrium shop, I never had high hopes for this. However, my complete inability to not buy any book which has a tenuous link to music or musicians remains alive and kicking.

There was something strikingly reminiscent about the plot blurb, which unfolded into the realisation that I was actually re-reading Kerry Greenwood's 'Ruddy Gore', in which Phryne Fisher, a feisty, independent young woman, goes to a concert in the 1920's and gets caught up in a murder myster...more

One of Daisy's neighbors is murdered in the middle of an opera performance. Good character development. I really like Daisy, Alec and his team. There's a subplot about an anarchist conspiracy that's an unnecessary diversion. Otherwise a good addition to the series. There were several suspects with motives to do her in. Despite the setting in an opera house, this is a 'closed room' mystery.
