Editorial Review:
A magazine assignment takes a murderous turn for that intrepid sleuth, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, in this delightful new addition to Carola Dunn's mystery series set in 1920s England...
Late autumn in the Cotswolds, and the countryside is a riot of red, yellow, and gold. Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, six months pregnant and blooming, is delighted to visit Edge Manor, home of her old school friend Gwen Tyndall, to research one of her articles. Since 1606, the Tyndalls have held an annual fete celebrating the defeat of Guy Fawkes' plot against the monarchy. But this year, amid the fireworks and festivities, Gwen's father and a visiting Australian are found dead. It seems that Sir Harold turned the gun on himself after shooting his guest. Sir Harold was a bully with a famously short-fused temper, and many--including his own children--might have secretly wished for his demise. But could the apparent suicide really be murder? Now, as Daisy investigates alongside her husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, an explosive family secret emerges--one that a trigger-happy killer will do anything to protect...
"Fans of the dauntless Daisy will delight in this Anglophilic period mystery." --Kirkus Reviews
"Daisy exhibits her usual common sense and charm." --Publishers Weekly

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Gunpowder Plot
This was the first book I have read in the Daisy Dalrymple Mystery series. I enjoyed the setting of 1920's England. Trying to figure out the 3 killings of 3 characters was a bit of a challenge.Gave my brain a workout. Just one murder would have been enough for the story, I thought.At times the story was hard to follow. I have another book of this series which I want to read soon, I got it after reading this one, so it was still a good read that made me want to read more Daisy Dalrymple Mystery books. ... Read More
Rating:  - wonderful series!
The Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher returns with fireworks in the 15th installment of this historical mystery series. Six months along in her pregnancy, Daisy is traveling with her old friend, Gwen Tyndall, to Edge Manor, the Tyndall family estate, to write an article for her American readers on the annual Guy Fawkes gala that has taken place here for centuries.
Gwen's father is a testy baronet who likes to have everything and everyone under his thumb. He is also something of a snob, ... Read More
Rating: - Gunpower Plot
This is a very good book. I have all of Carola Dunn's Daisy Dalrymple books, and this one ranks as one of the best.
Rating:  - NANCY DREW FOR GROWN UPS!
I discovered Daisy Dalrymple mysteries while at home with a virus...wanted to read a book that was NOT substantive and did NOT require deep thought. Daisy is a delight. The Daisy books take me back to the pleasure I remember reading Nancy Drew books in the 1960s! The GunPower Plot reviews history, takes us to a "stately home" in the Cotswalds...and provides interesting characters via Dolly, her Scotland Yard husband, Alec... and extended family and friends. So enjoyable a mystery that after reading ... Read More
Rating: - The Honorable Daisy Dalrymple does it again
This 15th installment in adventures of the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple continues the light breezy style of this delightful series. Daisy is a houseguest at a country manor, invited to observe a traditional Guy Fawkes celebration. Her intent is to write an article about the festivities, but when the host and an unexpected guest are shot dead, Daisy is once again inadvertently involved in a murder investigation. The plot line is reasonable. The author's efforts to distract the reader's attention from the culprit ... Read More
