Rattle the reader - By: Frosty, 02 Nov 2008
I admit that Dunn's Daisy has captured my attention & often transports me away from our often harsh contemporary society to an assumed gentler age. However, this book irritated me right from the start as it began in describing the criminal activities of an un-identified person before switching to Dunn's more usual story narrative. This didn't add to the drama or even set the scene particularly well but then perhaps that's because I like to unravel alll the clues along the way, not be handed half the solution in the first chapter. The rest of the book suffered a little but the Dunn magic was still glimpsed as Daisy & Alec hunted the jewel thief/murderer through the Natural History Museum. Perhaps the author had recently been watching a 'cop' show where they give away the guilty party before the opening credits? Nevertheless I'm glad to see the experiment hasn't been repeated in the other books I've read of hers.
