Review by Tracey for A Mourning Wedding: A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery (Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher) Rating: I have loved every one of the Daisy Dalyrymple series and this one is no exception. Daisy goes to her old roommate Lucy Fotheringay's wedding and stumbles into more trouble. Her husband, CID Alec Fletcher, is around to help her out. This series is delightfully cozy and set in the twenties it doesn't have the language or graphic gore so many mysteries do. This is a light breezy read that will keep you entertained.

Review by Gayla J. Childers for A Mourning Wedding: A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery (Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher) Rating: I found my first Daisy Dalrymple at a bookstore in Thailand. I was desperate for something to read in English and just grabbed it and boy, was I glad. Well, that was many books ago and I now have the whole series. Carola Dunn deals with the changes in the aristocracy in England had to make after WWI, while telling you a good tale and this one is no different. Now I wait with baited breath for her next Daisy Dalrymple book.

Review by Harriet Klausner for A Mourning Wedding: A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery (Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher) Rating: The Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher is at the manor house of the Earl of Haverhill to provide support to her best friend Lucy, who is marrying Lord Gerald Bincombe in a few days. Daisy's husband Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher is to meet her just before the wedding, but when someone murders Lady Eve, Haverhill uses his clout to have Alec assigned to investigate instead of the local constabulary.

Daisy informs her spouse that the victim collected gossip on aristocrats over the years, which means that just about everyone attending the wedding had a motive. Before Alex gets very far, Lord Farthingay, the heir dies most likely by poison. The next day Lucy's fiancée is found bleeding from a blow to the head and the doctor is not sure whether he will recover from the trauma. Alec and Daisy are under pressure to solve the case before the killer strikes again.

A MOURNING WEDDING is a complex entertaining mystery that followers of the series will enjoy as Daisy is the pregnant amateur sleuth mingling with the aristocracy in a way her spouse cannot in order to aid the official investigation. The married couple is a fine sleuthing team working together to solve the case while adding ardor to their unique relationship that fans of Carola Dunn will appreciate.

Review by tregatt for A Mourning Wedding: A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery (Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher) Rating: A wedding in the country, a country manor full of gossipy aristocratic relatives with scandalous secrets to hide, and murder -- it could only be the latest installment in the charming and light hearted Daisy Dalrymple mystery series. In "Mourning Wedding," Daisy's good friend, Lucy Fotheringay, is about to be married to her patient and loving longtime beau, Gerald. The wedding is to take place at Lucy's grandfather's palatial manor in the country, and Daisy has agreed to come down ahead of the guests in order to give her friend some much needed moral support. What she finds is Lucy in two minds about whether or not she actually wants to marry Gerald, and a house full of eccentric relatives -- some nice and some rather poisonous. And while Daisy is rather troubled about Lucy's frame of mind, her worries about her friend soon fly out the window when Lucy's grandaunt Eva, a collector of family gossip, is found strangled in bed. Soon, Daisy is trying to figure which one of Lucy's relatives is guilty of murder even as she battles morning sickness. Was grandaunt Eva murdered because of her penchant for collecting scandal? Or is there some mad murderer bent on decimating the Fotheringay family? Fortunately for Daisy, her husband, Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard has been assigned to the case, and together they're bound to discover who the murderer is before (s)he can strike again...

If you're in the mood for a nice, well written, lighthearted murder mystery set in the roaring twenties, "A Mourning Wedding" will definitely please. While not a very "deep" mystery novel that is full of cunning twists and turns, "A Mourning Wedding" was such a pleasant and enjoyable read, and Daisy (the detecting heroine) was such a nice and engaging character, that one soon finds oneself deeply immersed in the goings-on in the book. Charming, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable, "A Mourning Wedding" proved to be an all around pleasing read.

Review by Plain Jane for HO Railroad from Start to Finish (Model Railroad Handbook, No 36) Rating: Having borrowed the book from the library several times, it was a pretty clear winner, before I bought it. My 11 year old son uses it as his main resource for the model railroad that it is still largely germinating inside his head, but that I have no doubt will eventually be a reality.

Review by John A Lee III for HO Railroad from Start to Finish (Model Railroad Handbook, No 36) Rating: Building a model railroad is fun but doing more than the "oval track" needs some skills that all starters to not have. Often, modelers learn by doing and learn a lot from mistakes. This is valuable experience but it is also frustrating. This book attempts to address this problem by presenting the construction of a very modest but still well though out layout that is simple.

This book is made up of reprints of a series of articles from MODEL RAILROADER MAGAZINE. It starts with a simple idea. The layout must be simple to build and not too messy. Each article covers a different facet and the result is a nice little railroad.

Among the topics considered are the building of the table, laying track, building basic plastic kits of buildings, building of some basic car kits along with Kadee couplers, adding specialized track, adding streets, simple kitbashing of plastic structure kits, adding a backdrop, adding water features, weathering, building relief and scenery, control systems, scratchbuilt wood structures, metal structure kits, using mirrors to make a scene look larger, making rocks, adding foliage, building a tunnel, adding signals and operating of the railroad in a realistic manner. Each article is simple but teaches foundational skills.

It is well done.

Review by for HO Railroad from Start to Finish (Model Railroad Handbook, No 36) Rating: If you don't have any background in model railroading than this book is a good place to start. It will read great the first time through but don't expect to ever go back to it for reference later down the line. Concepts like control panels, wiring, switches, etc. are all left vaugely discussed, and for this reason it can be frustrating. Make sure you buy this is conjunction with another book better detailed in any areas you don't understand (like wiring).
