Philip Petri has fallen in love with the daughter of an American millionaire. Unfortunately she's kidnapped and Philip calls on Daisy to help him find his love. In amongst the mayhem, Daisy's and Alec's relationship takes a giant leap forward. This is another entertaining instalment in the series, which manages to combine grim historical detail as characters remember aspects of WWI in what is essentially a light entertaining series. ( )

Reminded me of some of Christie's 1920s adventures, like the Seven Dials Mystery, but with Dunn's interesting perspective on the time and society. ( )

Daisy Dalrymple heads to her ancestral home in order to help her friend, Phillip, find his new love, Gloria. This novel is a refreshing change, with no dead body. Daisy continues to be a great character, and her love for Alec deepens with this novel. Great read! ( )
