The fourth entry in Jeanne M. Dams's delightfully charming, award-winning mystery series starring Dorothy Martin. This time, Dorothy dons one of her most outlandish hats and sets out for the Doll House Museum at the imposing Brocklesby Hall to help a friend clear her son of theft charges. But two murders put more than a miniature Sevres tea set at stake and Dorothy finds herself maneuvering a complicated plot that is trickier and more dangerous than any of England's daunting roundabouts.
Synopsis:
Dorothy Martin is an inquisitive American widow who has relocated to Sherebury, a small college town outside of London, after the death of her beloved husband. Although it's difficult to get into the Christmas spirit, she does her best--until she trips over the dead body of a cranky cleric. This is the first book of the Dorothy Martin Mystery series.

The first book in the Dorothy Martin series. The delightful Mrs. Martin, an avid reader of Agatha Christie and other English mysteries, stumbles across a body in the cathedral in her new small hometown in England. Plot twists and interesting characters abound. Entertaining to read and hard to figure out whodunnit.
