The hot summer heat is enough to put anyone on edge but, to Daisy Dalrymple, it seems that her brother-in-law, Lord John Frobisher, is exceptionally tense - and with good reason. Someone with an evil sense of humour is sending him a series of poison pen letters that threaten to reveal racy secrets which could ruin him completely. Promising to protect Lord John from public scandal, Daisy travels to his village in Kent, only to discover it teeming with enough gossip, resentment and intrigue to make everyone a suspect... or victim. Then a murder is committed, and Daisy finds herself in a race to reveal the killer before the ink dries on her own death warrant!

This is the third book in this series that I have read and it was okay. I enjoyed the others more. The characters are their usual charming selves, apparent from Daisy herself. I feel that she has taken a step backward and is not as strong as she has portrayed in the other books and that she was actually quite wishy-washy in this one.

Enjoy

Thanks very much for sending this book from my wishlist. I love the covers. I've got other books in this series so I'll try to read them in order.

Oh dear, everyone in the village has secrets but a Poison Pen letter writer is scaring everyone. Daisy has a row with Alec but makes it up. I liked the children. Good story about a time when the pace of life was much slower.
Thanks disneyfreaksam.
