Resumen del Editor

When Maud McIntyre and her lady’s maid Daisy travel into the Scottish Highlands, the last thing they expect to find is a body on the train. Will these keen amateur sleuths stop a murderer in his tracks?

Edinburgh, 1911: When Maud McIntyre receives a letter from a maid called Rose, sharing her suspicions that something strange is happening in the house where she works, she and her assistant Daisy immediately travel to the Highlands to investigate.

But as they are changing trains, the body of a man falls from the carriage right in front of them, a bullet in his head. Maud and Daisy can’t believe it–they’ve waited ages for a new case, and now one has literally landed in front of them! And when the local police rule the death as a tragic accident, the pair has no choice but to investigate what they believe is a murder.

Arriving in the Scottish village, Maud and Daisy go undercover to begin their hunt for the murderer, while also investigating the strange behavior of Rose’s employer, a local art dealer. As they begin to piece together the chain of events, Maud and Daisy wonder whether the cases might be linked. Is it possible the man on the train was killed to cover up something in the village? And if so, who would do such a thing?

When a local artist is found murdered, Maud and Daisy become convinced the two cases are connected. Searching for the link between the deaths, will Maud and Daisy solve the case before another mysterious murder takes place?

A historical whodunnit perfect for fans of the mysteries of Helena Dixon, Verity Bright, T.E. Kinsey, and Catherine Coles.

there were some pretty funny parts

Great listen really enjoyed her characters. great job at show off women abilities. also love the series

fun cosy mystery great naration

l loved being transported to Scotland while listening to this series.it was just delightful fun.

Captivating & Enjoyable

Love the way several storylines are tied together with interesting characters! thoroughly enjoy the narrator also!

Almost passed but glad I didn’t

At first Maude’s voice seemed too uptight, but Daisy balances and enhances the performance and the voices work well together. Love the story line and multiple plots that may or may not be connected.

Enjoyable and fun

This is just as much fun as the first in the series. Helen McAlpine has a magical ability creating so many different characters, bringing them all to life and drawing us into the story.

Another Interesting Story

The performance was excellent and really helped the story . The story was interesting and fun. The story flowed well and was a good listen .

Characters and performances

Each character has a unique voice and I love how well the performers can adjust to the new disguises they create for Maude and Daisy.

Love Daisy’s traditional Scots speech…

But it’s really hard to understand to an ear that’s unaccustomed to it.

Maybe if I saw the text at the same time as I heard it, it wouldn’t be so difficult for me, but that defeats the purpose of an audio for me. Audiobooks are frequently read (at least by me) so that I can read a book anywhere, including driving and doing housework. Because it doesn’t fit those parameters, I may not continue with this series in audio.

Another Winner

Ms Travers does not disappoint with this second volume devoted to Maud, Daisy and the mysterious Lord Arteck. The cast of supporting characters and the necessary villain comprise a fun assortment of Scottish turn of the century prejudices. discovery of modern improvements to free women from household drudgeries and the vagaries of the younger generation to break away from their parents.

Loved it foe many cozy reasons
