Library Journal review
Library Journal review of Superfluous Women (coming out next month US, July UK):
"The 22nd entry (after Heirs of the Body) in the charming 1920s-set series proves that Dunn just keeps getting better."
Can't beat that!

Comes out today
HEIRS OF THE BODY, the latest Daisy mystery, comes out today in the US in PAPERBACK.
Set in England in 1927, it's the story of the hunt for the legitimate heir to Daisy's cousin Edgar, the present Lord Dalrymple. Claimants to the viscountcy turn up from all corners of the Empire. When his lordship invites four of them--as well as Daisy and her family--to stay at his country estate to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, mayhem ensues.
Reviews of the hardcover edition:
"Dunn’s forebears are writers such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. They set the standard for classic cozy puzzles, and Heirs of the Body’s unfussy prose and straightforward plot lend themselves well to this venerable tradition."
Adam Woog, The Seattle Times.
"...lively and engaging throughout the traditional whodunit series. As Daisy's aristocratic family become embroiled in another cozy mystery, Dunn offers a strong sense of place, tight and suspenseful plotting and well-defined motives--all serving to enrich the entertaining puzzle at the heart of the story." --Kathleen Gerard, blogger at Reading Between the Lines

Twenty Years...
My editor just sent my first copy of the new trade paperback of Death at Wentwater Court (out next month). Reissued with a beautiful new cover. As he points out, it's just 20 years since it first came out in hardcover. He's a patient man putting up with me for 20 years!! Who could have guessed we'd be working together so long?
