The Bloody Tower
The Bloody Tower: A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery | Carola Dunn
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
In early 1925, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, recent mother of twins, resumes her journalistic career by agreeing to write a piece about the Tower of London - the Bloody Tower - for an American magazine. Invited to observe the centuries old ritual Ceremony of the Keys, she's spending the night (her first time away from her babies) since the complex is locked and guarded, and the high walls are surrounded by a disused moat. Having been given a tour of the Crown Jewels, interviewed and observed the Yeoman Warders, and met the Ravenmaster, Daisy has more than enough material for her article and decides to leave as early as possible the next morning to return to her family. But when walking down the stairs, she almost trips over the dead body of one of the Yeoman Warders. That there's something seriously amiss cannot be denied, due to the pike sticking out of his back. With her husband, Scotland Yard DCI Alec Fletcher assigned to resolve the case, Daisy once again finds herself in the middle of a case of murder most foul.

Another fun entry in the Daisy Dalrymple series!

Daisy is on the case at the Tower of London, when a somewhat closed area Murder means only a select number of people are suspects. I enjoy this series to see the progression of the characters‘ lives…this one is book 16, I believe, so you can imagine all of the backstory of the main characters by this point. Perfect distraction listen!

Itchyfeetreader @Mdargusch there is a little chapel in the corner to the left of the courtyard called St. Peter ad Vincula. It‘s a lovely little church and well worth going into on a tour 6y
Mdargusch Good to know. I was always so interested to see where Anne Boleyn lost her head. Now I will have something else to check out! @Itchyfeetreader 6y

Mehso-so

Daisy Dalyrymple cozy mystery about murder at the Tower of London among the residents of the tower/ guards (beefeaters) and regiment stationed there. Interesting information about the inner workings of the Tower but very fluffy cozy and Daisy is totally unbelievable. Got this as audio from Hoopla to listen to while clearing up house after holidays- narrator has a very high pitched shrill voice for Daisy that was annoying. Only one I have read.
