Review

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 *
