Daisy Dalrymple, newly pregnant, is invited to come a few days early to the wedding of her good friend Lucy, to be held at the estate of Lucy's grandfather, the 3rd Earl of Haverhill. What hadn't been counted on was the murder of Lucy's great-aunt, Lady Eva, who collected and documented other people's secrets. When the local police find themselves intimidated while questioning the family, who are of the nobility class, Daisy's husband Alec, of Scotland Yard, is called in. Lucy starts to wonder whether she really wants to get married at all. When another death occurs, and then the bridegroom-to-be is attacked, it's clear that someone in the household–or a guest‒is the murderer. As always, there's something about Daisy that inspires people to talk with her. Her insights, in conjunction with the information that Alec and his crew turn up, helps put the pieces together.This is what I consider a light read, for times when life is so busy that books must be taken in small doses to fit into the schedule.
