About this ebook
It's Spring 1923 and love is in bloom as the Honourable Phillip Petrie finds himself totally smitten with Miss Gloria Arbuckle, daughter of an American millionaire. But before the enthusiastic suitor can pop the question, his beloved is abducted by kidnappers. As Gloria's distraught father begins assembling the ransom, Phillip enlists his childhood friend, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple to help him recover his missing sweetheart. Strictly forbidden to contact the police, Daisy must resist the temptation to bring her occasional collaborator Scotland Yard's Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher into the case. But as she closes in on the abductors' rural hideway, she begins to suspect that Gloria isn't the only fair damsel whose life hangs in the balance...

cosy-mystery, family-dynamics, friendship, abduction, amateur-sleuth, law-enforcement, situational-humor, verbal-humor, humour, England***** If you're looking for a simple cosy mystery, you might not like this series, but if you like to laugh your way through the sleuthing and enjoy a bit of a spoof, you'll love it. This story highlight Phillip, Daisy's cousin and very old friend. He has met the perfect girl for him but she is an American and winds up being abducted because her father is a very wealthy man. The kidnappers give the usual cautions, the father is a mess, Phillip is beyond himself but does ask Daisy for help. Daisy brings other friends into it and it all goes cuckoo. Loved it! I feel that the narrator would have been wonderful in old time radio or vaudeville.
