Genre: Mystery
The Body In The Transept: Dorothy Martin, new widow moved to England, enjoys the Christmas service in Sherebury Cathedral until she trips over the body of Canon Billings. With handsome Chief Constable Alan Nesbitt, neighbor Jane, cat Emmy, and amusing hats, she sorts through suspects: pompous dishonest verger Wallingford, fired student Nigel, philandering George – to the truth.
Trouble In The Town Hall: Dorothy Martin, American widow, likes her new home in the cathedral town of Sherebury, England. While debate rages over the decaying town hall, the body of an unknown young man is found on the site. Her increasingly dear friend Chief Constable Alan Nesbitt warns her away from the official investigation, but Dorothy finds plenty of skeletons in local closets.
Holy Terror In The Hebrides: Dorothy Martin is the only witness when an unpleasant American falls to his death from a cliff during her vacation on the charming Scottish island of Iona. She sees a small clue the police miss, that points to murder, not accident. Dorothy feels bound to learn the truth.
Malice In Miniature: Dorothy and new husband Sherebury inspector Alan Nesbitt are interrupted one cold November tea by her friend Ada Finch. Ada’s son, their gardener Bob, is arrested for stealing a 17th-century tea set created for a doll’s house. A poisoned housekeeper reveals more afoot at Brockelsby Hall and the Museum of Miniatures than a missing tea set.
The Victim In Victoria Station: Dorothy Martin’s wedded bliss could only be improved if her husband didn’t have to go gallivanting all over the world, advising local police on new procedure. Dorothy’s life could only be improved if she didn’t keep stumbling across the recently-and criminally-deceased.
Killing Cassidy: Now that Dorothy Martin has proved to the good folk of Sherebury, England, that she’s more than adept at sleuthing, what might be more natural than for her to bring her skills back home to the United States?Dorothy returns to Hillsburg, Indiana, to claim a small inheritance and a large problem. Kevin Cassidy has left her some money and a letter suggesting that if he dies, he’s been murdered. On the surface it seems absurd. Cassidy was 96 years old and succumbed to pneumonia. But Dorothy knows about innocent facades, as does her husband, Alan, now retired from the police force. As Dorothy begins to ask questions, Alan makes a discovery of his own: what Dorothy has been doing is hard work. With no credentials and a local police department that resents his presence, he must now learn how to uncover secrets with no one but his wife to guide him. Fortunately, she’s as good a teacher as she is a detective.
With all the charm and grace that makes the traditional, British cozy-style mystery a mainstay of fans around the world, Jeanne M. Dams proves once again that Dorothy Martin is a sleuth with staying power.
To Perish In Penzance: She was about twenty, with long blond hair, and her body was found a few days after she fell from the cliffs to her death on the rocks below. The action of the water and sea life made circulating a picture of her impossible, but even with a description, no one identified her; no one reported a girl gone missing from any of the nearby villages. She’d been fashionably dressed, obviously out for a night of partying. All the police knew was her approximate age, that she’d had a child a few months before she died, and that she weighed only about ninety pounds. The cliff from which she fell was miles from anywhere. Her death was a mystery that had haunted Alan Nesbitt, Dorothy Martin’s now-retired Chief Constable husband, since 1968. It was a failure that he’d carried for years.
It was raining in Sherebury, but the sun was out in Cornwall. A perfect time to take a vacation…and a perfect chance for Dorothy Martin. It didn’t matter that the incident had happened more than thirty years earlier; Dorothy was going to get to the bottom of the mystery for Alan…and uncover a new one while she was at it.
Sins Out Of School: Just Deserts
You can take her out of the country, but you can’t deprive Dorothy Martin of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings, even in merry old England. So this expatriate Hoosier is preparing a feast and, naturally, it wouldn’t be a challenge without a crisis or two.
A retired teacher, Dorothy gets her first serving of trouble when she fills in for a missing teacher at the local school. When it turns out that the woman is now the prime suspect in the murder of her husband, Dorothy takes in the couple’s young daughter for dinner.
The victim was a cruel man who used his warped view of faith to torment anyone in his path. His death was really a blessing for his wife and daughter but did one of them kill him? The answer leads Dorothy to secrets and lies, and into the cold heart of an evil man, and the surprising face of a killer.
Winter Of Discontent: Dorothy Martin’s neighbor and closest friend, Jane Langland, has been having a fling with Bill Fanshawe–or, as much of a fling as two 80-year olds in a small town are allowed. Now there are rumors that Jane and Bill may move in together, and Dorothy needs to know exactly what’s happening. What neither woman expects is that Bill is missing, and that within a day his body is going to be discovered in the tunnel under the Sherebury town museum.
Why would anyone want to harm a harmless old man, a historian who loves the town and the people who live there? Given his age, and the strange letter found in his hand, Dorothy thinks that whatever happened has its roots in WWII. Everyone, including her husband, retired police office Alan, looks askance, but when another old man is murdered–a man who served at the same RAF base as Bill–no one denies Dorothy’s suspicions may be right.
Dorothy investigates, knowing that the best Christmas gift she can give her friend Jane is the truth about what happened to Bill. And Jane has a surprise of her own for Dorothy…
The Evil That Men Do: Dorothy Martin and her husband, retired Chief Constable Alan Nesbitt, are on holiday in the idyllic English village of Broadway when they stumble across the body of a man who appears to have fallen down a disused quarry. When it is revealed that the man, a local farmer, was probably pushed over the edge, and that the police have failed to find any suspects or motives for the murder, Dorothy can’t help but get involved.
The Corpse Of St James’s: Dorothy Martin and her husband, retired Chief Constable Alan Nesbitt, have just visited Buckingham Palace, where Alan was awarded the George Cross, when they and a friend, retired Chief Inspector Jonathan Quinn, stumble across the body of a young girl hidden in St James’s Park. Wondering what led to the unfortunate girl’s demise, Dorothy can’t help but get involved in the case when Jonathan calls the next day and admits he knew who the victim was.
Murder At The Castle: Dorothy Martin is in Wales for an opera full of passion, drama . . . and murder.
Dorothy Martin and her husband, retired Chief Constable Alan Nesbitt, are invited to join their close friends Nigel and Inga Evans at a Welsh music festival. Amid the glorious surroundings of Welsh castles and the history of long-ago battles, the stage is set for an enjoyable event. However, when a tragic accident takes the life of one of the choir, and the same fate befalls the star soloist, Dorothy and Alan find themselves in the midst of an investigation as tumultuous, passionate and complicated as any opera.
