What I like most about this series (and have probably mentioned before), is that Dorothy Martin and Alan Nesbitt are so REAL, so comfortable in their own skins and in their relationship, suffering the aches and pains of advanced age, getting hungry, and caring so much about each other. It's refreshing!
Week are now at book 18 of Dorothy and Alan's adventure, and I wish they could continue on forever. Vacationing in Alderney in the Channel Islands (check out http://www.visitalderney.com/ if you are interested in more information), Dorothy and Alan naturally discover a body while out walking the hills of the island and become involved into the investigation into the death. One of things I liked most about this novel, aside from Dorothy and Alan, was the details on Alderney. If you look at the website above you'll discover that Dams did her research! Most of the restaurants, hotels, and other places really exist and are integral to the story. This is probably the best tourism campaign that Alderney could ever have. I want to go there. I just wish Dorothy and Alan were still there, too!
