[Daisy Dalrymple 14] • Fall of a Philanderer

For Daisy and her husband Alec, a long-awaited break by the sea becomes a busman_s holiday when a local ladies_ man turns up murdered on the beach_ Yet in the coastal town of Westcombe it_s hard to find someone who wouldn_t have wanted George Enderby dead. The married Casanova_s scandalous seductions had earned him the enmity of every jilted lover and cuckolded husband in the area - not to mention the resentment of his long-suffering wife. And now, as Daisy and Alec investigate among the seaside cliffs, beautiful beach and quaint village, this holiday idyll seems nothing more than a sinister backdrop for cold blooded murder_ while the murderer may be closer than Daisy thinks!Praise for the Daisy Dalrymple series:'Cunning_ appropriate historical detail and witty dialogue are the finishing touches on this engaging 1920s period piece._ Publishers Weekly_As always, Dunn evokes the life and times of 1920s England while providing a plot that is a cut above the average British cosy.
