Holy Terror in the Hebrides : A Dorothy Martin Mystery

Rating:
Summary: I enjoyed this book more than the first two in the series.
Review: The bit of a twist that made an accident appear to be murder worked for me. It made me think, 'Okay, this main character is on the edge of bragging about helping to solve murders in England, feels a bit put-out because the Scottish police don't seem to want her help, and then realizes that she might have made a mistake - and she wants to correct it." It's nice to see a main character who is not only NOT perfect, but is made to face how she might have hurt someone by her mistake. She doesn't have to see and solve everything on her own.

Review: This is not a review...I had written a review but do not see it listed with the others do you only take so many for each book or is there certain criteria that I am not meeting....I thought it was a good review. [e-mail] (Margie R.)

Summary: A charming English cozy
Review: This is the third in Jeanne M. Dams' delightful English cozy series featuring Dorothy Martin, a retired American schoolteacher living in Sherebury, England. In this adventure, our heroine, en route to a vacation on the Scottish island of Iona, finds herself on a bus with an ill-assorted, bickering American church tour group headed for the same idyllic destination. Dorothy's holiday turns out to be anything but peaceful: An obnoxious American is killed in a fall from a cliff in Fingal's Cave, and Dorothy suspects murder. As if that weren't enough, the island is hit by an extremely violent storm. This is a wonderful series, with a charming sleuth and many likable characters. I recommend beginning with the first novel, "The Body in the Transept," and reading the books in order, so you can become acquainted with Dorothy and her friends.
