I just love Dorothy Martin. She is so real, aging gracefully, enjoying a comfortable, affectionate relationship with he husband, Alan Nesbitt, and wearing all sorts of wonderful hats just because she likes them. I always picture her as a normal, slightly younger and much more likable version of Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge).
Alan and Dorothy are invited by young friends Inga and Nigel to attend a week-long classical music festival in Wales. The festival will benefit the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Nigel is one of the singers and famed conductor Sir John Warner, who suffered the loss of his young wife, Delia, 10 years before on a tragic cruise, is in charge of the music. During a boat excursion for tourists one of the singers from the festival "accidentally" plunges overboard when the passengers crowd the sides of the boat to take pictures from an aqueduct and later, Graciosa de la Rosa, the festival's universally disliked diva, takes a fatal fall from a balcony during rehearsal. Are the two incidents really accidents or is there a connection? Dorothy and Alan are suspicious, especially when the true identity of Graciosa is revealed.
Dames takes her readers on a tour of the Welsh countryside alongside Dorothy and Alan who, as always, team up to get to the bottom of things. You'll enjoy the experience!
