I've not read them all, but my favourite to-date is The Dark Dream.<br />I live in the Western District. For that reason Daughter of Mine caught my eye. I hope you enjoy it too.<br />Always a pleasure to visit your blog.

It always makes me sad. Lol.

Also a shame to hear The Paris Aprtment didn't quite live up to your expectations. I still have it sitting on my TBR shelf. I think I will still give it a go at some point.<br />I also love Kaye Dobbie and didn't realise she wrote under another name years ago.
