Carola Dunn: Superfluous Women (USA 2016) From the Publisher: Daisy and her husband Alec -- Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher, of Scotland Yard -- go for a Sunday lunch with Daisy's friends, where one of the women mentions a wine cellar below their house, which remains curiously locked, no key to be found. Alec offers to pick the lock, but when he opens the door, what greets them is not a cache of wine, but the stench of a long-dead body. And with that, what was a pleasant Sunday lunch has taken an unexpected turn. Now Daisy's three friends are the most obvious suspects in a murder and her husband Alec is a witness, so he can't officially take over the investigation. So before the local detective, Superintendent Underwood, can officially bring charges against her friends, Daisy is determined to use all her resources (Alec) and skills to solve the mystery behind this perplexing locked-room crime. Carola Dunn: Superfluous Women. A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery. St. Martin's Griffin, ISBN: 9781250105752 (September, 2016), 320 p., $16.99.
