Listened to it on audiobook. Entertaining for dull car rides.
iskanderjonesiv's review against another edition
July, 1923, and Daisy has been invited by an American magazine to cover the Henley Regatta. But unknown to her, she steps into a class war between two members of the Oxford rowing team. Cox Horace Bott - a shopkeeper's son, has always hated rower Basil DeLancy - younger son of an earl and all-round cad and bully. And after a particularly brutal public humiliation by DeLancy, Bott swears revenge - so when DeLancy keels over and dies mid-race, it would seem he's made good his promise.

Very weak mystery plot. Now, I just read this series for Daisy and Alec to see what they are up to.

Amusing but Daisy and Alec need to spend less time thinking about possibilities and more time asking questions.
