Requiem for a Mezzo

A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery

De: Carola Dunn

Narrado por: Bernadette Dunne

With dashing Scotland Yard Inspector Alec Fletcher at her side, Daisy is enjoying a delightful performance of Verdi's Requiem, featuring her neighbor Muriel Westlea's celebrated sister, Bettina. But when all that emerges from the doomed diva's vocal chords is a dying gasp, Daisy soon discovers that the notoriously difficult opera star had her share of adversaries; among them a smugly philandering tenor, a burly Russian bass, and even her own vocal coach husband, with whom she shared a hardly harmonious marriage.

Did one of them fatally poison the acclaimed mezzo? Or is someone else determined to see that Daisy's investigation ends on as bitter a note as Bettina's fateful last performance?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Dunn describes 1920s London and the characters in detail and highlights the interplay between Alec and Daisy. A snug read." (Library Journal)

very good book.

I enjoyed the characters in this series. The stories are always very interesting and different. And Daisy is just a really sweet girl with a lot of ambition. She is very smart,and I think we have been lead to believe that titled women are uneducated. Well, she showed us.

Bravo to the performance

The story as well as the performance was brilliant. I Very much enjoyed everything about this audible.

Enjoyable

Very enjoyable light mystery with a little romance. This is even better than the first two in the series. Good narrator and large interesting cast of characters.

Smashing mystery

l am thoroughly enjoying this murder mystery series, they are fun, clever and entertaining. Well narrated. Recommended .

Great Fun!

Daisey D. is always delightful!
I enjoy the bits of historical details Dunn dole out during these detective stories.

Still going great!

This series is still awesome. I give this story a 4 instead of 5 because I was not keen on the subject matter, but give a 5 rating overall since that is only my issue—the book is great!

narrator good with foreign accents .good story.

interesting story , behind the scenes of classical concerts. Çluttered with too many characters, a few of whom almost the same: older wives heartbroken with wandering husband's they don't seem able to leave. some interesting refugee musicians from Germany who keep on at their craft despite snobbery. plenty of mystery to keep readers guessing. and some nice happy resolutions. delightful Daisy and Alec as slwsys.

Love this series!

A lovely gentle little murder mystery.
I’ll definitely be back for more Daisy.
Happy to say the narrator has done much better with the accents this time round too.

wonderful find

excellent story telling from both reader and writer. cerebral yet quaint. all loose ends nicely tied together.

Fun escape

Lighter than air mystery that is a near perfect listen on long drives or before falling asleep.
