      So here I am at #4 in Dorothy Martin's adventures in amateur sleuthing. Dorothy and Chief Constable Alan Nesbitt are recently married and Alan, apparently on the verge of retirement, is away exploring what may well be his final administrative job. Dorothy is not sure how he feels about her continuing her sleuthing activities but that doesn't stop her from going to the aid of Ada Finch when her son Bob is arrested for theft. As readers we are now well familiar with the main characters of the story: Dorothy and Alan, Dorothy's London friends, her neighbour Jane, and Ada and Bob Finch. Bob has been accused of stealing a valuable item from the nearby Museum of Miniatures, Brockelsby Hall, where he has a part time job as a gardener. Theft is so out of character for Bob that Dorothy takes no persuading to come to his defence.Dorothy makes new friends at the Museum and then a very nasty and dangerous enemey indeed.I am enjoying the series and have one book to go in the ones that I have purchased. After that I will probably consign them to "occasional read" when I am looking for something to read on my Kindle.
