Carola Dunn: The Case of the Murdered Muckraker (UK 2011)

From the Publisher:
The 10th novel in the charming Daisy Dalrymple series of 1920's country house murder mysteries.
In late 1923, the newly married Daisy Dalrymple and her husband Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, come to America for a honeymoon visit. In the midst of a pleasure trip, however, both work in a bit of business - Alec travels to Washington, D. C. to consult with the U.S. government, Daisy to New York to meet with her American magazine editor.

While in New York, Daisy stays at the famed Chelsea Hotel, which is not only close to the Flatiron Building offices of Abroad magazine, where she'll be meeting with her editor, but home to many of New York's artists and writers. After her late morning meeting, Daisy agrees to accompany her editor, Mr. Thorwald, to lunch but as they are leaving the offices, they hear a gun shot and see a man plummeting down an elevator shaft. The man killed was one of her fellow residents at the Chelsea Hotel, Otis Carmody, who was a journalist with no end of enemies - personal and professional - who would delight in his death.

Again in the midst of a murder investigation, Daisy's search for the killer takes her to all levels of society, and even a mad dash across the country itself, as she attempts to solve a puzzle that would baffle even Philo Vance himself.

The Honorable Daisy Dalrymple, now Mrs. Daisy Fletcher, is happy to spend a few days of her honeymoon alone in New York, while her new husband, Detective Chief Inspector Alex Fletcher, consults with J. Edgar Hoover in Washington D.C. At the Chelsea Hotel, Daisy can work on her stories for Abroad magazine, and mingle with some of the city's more eccentric inhabitants. But Daisy's plans for a peaceful sojourn are scrapped when a fellow guest plummets to his death down an elevator shaft. Otis Carmody was a disreputable journalist with no end of enemies - personal and professional - capable of murder. With the aid of some new friends, a bumbling federal agent - and of course, her dashing spouse - Daisy must track a killer... and embark on a perilous cross-country trek that could bring her honeymoon to a decidedly sour end...
