IN THIS EIGHT-BOOK BOX SET:

BOOK 1: THE BODY IN THE TRANSEPT
Dorothy Martin, a recently widowed American, is having her first Christmas in England. But as she leaves midnight mass, she literally stumbles over a dead body — unpopular priest Canon Billings.

BOOK 2: TROUBLE IN THE TOWN HALL
A cleaner finds the body of a young man, stuffed in a closet at Sherebury’s historic town hall. Dorothy’s dear friend Chief Constable Alan Nesbitt warns her to steer clear of the investigation, but she can’t resist being drawn in.

BOOK 3: HOLY TERROR IN THE HEBRIDES
Dorothy hopes for a peaceful stay on the Isle of Iona, but trouble follows her there. She's thrown in with a bickering American church tour, and when one of the group falls to his death from a cliff, Dorothy is the only witness.

BOOK 4: MALICE IN MINIATURE
Dorothy’s gardener is caught stealing a priceless miniature tea set from Brockelsby Hall. The owner, eccentric Sir Mordred Brocklesby, is up in arms. Dorothy travels to the grand old country house, hoping to get to the bottom of it all.

BOOK 5: THE VICTIM IN VICTORIA STATION
Dorothy chats with a young man on the train to London. But by the time they reach Victoria Station, he is dead. The next day Dorothy checks all the newspapers — to find no mention of his death. She makes inquiries with the police but draws a blank there too.

BOOK 6: KILLING CASSIDY
Dorothy returns to Indiana, to claim a small inheritance from an old friend. But he also left her a letter. It says if he dies, it must have been murder. Someone was trying to kill him. An absurd idea? Dorothy will get to the bottom of this baffling mystery.

BOOK 7: TO PERISH IN PENZANCE
In Penzance, 1968, the body of a young woman was found floating in the water. She fell from the cliffs to her death. She was never identified. Her death is a mystery that’s haunted Alan, Dorothy’s husband, ever since. Until now . . .

BOOK 8: SINS OUT OF SCHOOL
Dorothy decides to throw a traditional Thanksgiving. But then she gets a call asking her to fill in at the local school. Retired teacher Dorothy can’t say no. Then she gets another call. Could she look after Mrs Doyle’s nine-year-old daughter? The child’s father has been murdered.

THE DETECTIVE
Dorothy Martin, sixtyish widow from Indiana and retired schoolteacher, moves to England shortly after her husband dies. A move they had planned to make together. Like the author, she has a taste for fabulous hats.

Title: Enjoyable Read
Review: I never read any books by this author before, but from the first page I found myself caught up in each of the books in this box set. The storyline in each book was believable. I liked Dorothy Martin, her husband Alan Nesbitt, and the various other characters portrayed in each book. I definitely plan on reading all of this author's other books.

Title: what a wonderful re-read!!
Review: I read all of these books some time ago and loved them. I found upon re-reading them, lots of things I misinterpreted on the first go-round. Nevertheless, I still love every one of this series and will continue on with my re-reading till I’m finished. I will love every minute of it!!

Title: Interesting Mystery Series
Review: I did enjoy reading this collection for the most part. The characters were interesting and the plots utilized many twists and turns. However, after a while I really was a bit irritated with Dorothy's constant interference in other people's lives. Good reading for those who enjoy cozy mysteries with quirky characters.

Title: Author has a church fetish while mystery is fairly good
Review: I bought the set and rather enjoyed the first book, although the author seems to be fascinated with English churches/cathedrals. The second book started on the same vein--fascination with churches--and I gave up reading it. I want a mystery, not the architectural description of old English churches, as well as the layout of the Church of England's clerical roster.

Review: I took a chance buying the box set, not knowing the author, but am so glad I did. The books are very well written and I can visualise the settings without the descriptions taking too big a part of things. I have one book left to read, and am saving it as I don't want the series to end!

Review: I loved the characters in the stories and their personalities and their interactions with each other. The differences between the cultures of their home countries is explained very well. It is always pleasing when the criminals are found and the case is closed. Well done.
