Books like Die Laughing (Daisy Dalrymple #12) by Carola Dunn

In April 1924, Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, a sharp-suited journalist, takes a routine dentist appointment that turns into a grim investigation. Finding the waiting room empty and Dr. Talmadge’s office locked, she and his nurse, Mrs. Talmadge, discover the dentist dead in his chair, a nitrous mask on his face and the tank running. While the scene suggests a tragic accident, Daisy’s instinct tells her that something more sinister is at hand. Determined to uncover the truth, she sets out to unravel the mystery behind the dentist’s fatal “accident,” confident that her investigation will reveal hidden motives and expose a deliberate crime. This twelve‑volume installment continues the series’ blend of period mystery and sharp wit, following Daisy’s relentless pursuit of justice in a world where secrets lurk behind every profession and every smiling face.
