Death at Wentwater Court, by Carola Dunn


Good book.
I'm a mystery fan, and this was enjoyable. The only unsavory part was an attempted rape, but not much detail is given about it, so it was still PG.
I enjoy the setting (in England) in the 1920's.
It has a little bit of romance, but not over the top.
The first in the Daisy Dalrymple Mystery series, I will definitely be going back for the next one. Here is what the book summary says:
'No stranger to sprawling country estates, wealthy Daisy Dalrymple is breaking new ground at this particular mano house, having scandalously traded silver spoon for pen and camera to cover a story for Town and Country magazine. But her planned interviews with the inhabitants or Wentwater Court give way to interrogation when suave Lord Stephen Astwick meets a dire fate on the tranquil skating pond. Armed with evidence that his fate was anything but accidental, Daisy joins forces with Scotland Yard to examine an esteemed collection of suspects -- and see that the unlikely culprit doesn't slip through their fingers just as the unfortunate Astick slipped through the ice...'
