Jeanne M. Dams, an American, is a devout Anglophile who has wished she could live in England ever since her first visit in 1963. Fortunately, her alter ego, Dorothy Martin, can do just that. Jeanne lives in South Bend, Indiana, with a varying population of cats.
A nice way to shake up the series without altering it
structurally, giving the action a fresh feel while retaining all of
its familiar elements. Good stuff for cozy fans *
Booklist *
Tension runs high until the surprise ending, the depravity
tempered by lyrical descriptions of Victoria and environs *
Kirkus Reviews *
An Anglophile's delight, piled high with enchanting details of
arcane rituals, all neatly wrapped around a nice case of murder
* Kirkus Reviews on A Dagger Before Me *
Dams shows Dorothy at her inquisitive, resourceful, determined
best. Fans of the series will be pleased to see this engaging
heroine once more * Booklist on Crisis at the
Cathedral *
The writing is crisp, the cast of characters is richly
described, and the story is delightfully convoluted. For fans of
Dams' brand of mystery, a sure-fire hit * Booklist on
The Missing Masterpiece *
Another charming cozy featuring two very likable senior sleuths
who show no signs of slowing down * Booklist on Smile
and be a Villain *
