DESCRIPTION:
(Sept.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. . Daisy and her husband, Scotland Yard's DCI Alec Fletcher, team up to unmask the killer. Daisy does all the really clever sleuthing, but she kindly allows her hubby to think he's putting things together himself. Things get tricky when one of the chief suspects, who may also be a blackmailer, disappears. And then there's the curious matter of the manner of death: the autopsy concludes that the Yeoman Warder died of a broken neck, so why was there also a partizan, or Yeoman Warder's halberd, sticking out of his back? Appropriate historical detail and witty dialogue are the finishing touches on this engaging 1920s period piece. All rights reserved.

So - Daisy fans enjoy your fist introduction to Daisy, new mom, but first timers - try Murder on the Flying Scotsman first.. Death of a Tower Warder Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher is back to work after the birth of her twins, doing a feature story about the Tower of London for her American readers. In the course of her research, she interviews the Yeoman Warders, visits the barracks, sees the Crown Jewels up close, and even speaks with the Raven Keeper. Since she wants to include the nightly Ceremony of the Keys ritual in her article, she receives permission to stay at a home within the Tower for the night. She misses her children and home greatly, and sneaks out early to return to them—only to nearly fall over the body of a yeoman warder on the st.
