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.
