Daisy meets all these characters and observes the ensuing familial fraternization with a certain kind of amusing nonchalance. That is, until Lucy's great aunt is found strangled to death in her bed. Lucy, in the meantime, has arranged to meet her betrothed in the conservatory, but when she arrives she finds him trying to revive her uncle, who has died-or has he been murdered? And just like that a normally celebratory occasion turns suspicious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow Daisy must sift through a throng of relatives-aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents- once wedding guests and now murder suspects. And she must find the killer quickly before another family member becomes a corpse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCritical Praise for The Daisy Dalrymple novels by Carola Dunn\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Replete with well-drawn characters, snappy dialogue and interesting plot twists.Easily the best entry in a charming series.\"  \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e on \u003ci\u003eMistletoe and Murder\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The period sense remains vivid, the characterizations are excellent, and the mysteries are, if anything, more perplexing than ever.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Oregonian\u003c\/i\u003e on \u003ci\u003eRattle His Bones\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Daisy and her husband spring into action, surrounded by historical armaments, secret rooms, hidden treasure, and family secrets.
