The Missing Masterpiece

Dorothy Martin Mystery, Book 19

By: Jeanne M. Dams

Narrated by: Kate Reading

Quelle horreur! A French holiday leads to disaster for American Anglophile Dorothy Martin in this engaging new cozy mystery.

When Dorothy Martin goes to France—alone because Alan is stuck back home in Sherebury with a broken ankle—she worries about her ability to get along in a language she barely speaks, and in a country she hasn’t seen for over fifty years. But by the time Alan joins her a week later, Dorothy has found herself embroiled in one mystery after another: a woman drowning in quicksand; a man suffering a near-fatal fall in the abbey at Mont Saint Michel; and a missing American archaeologist—all seemingly connected to a monk named Abelard who has been dead for almost nine hundred years.

It isn’t until another body is discovered that Dorothy’s ability to ‘think outside the box’ finally unravels the threads of a despicable scheme.

Better than some but still…

This book was better than the last one I listen to by this author yet the main character, Dorothy Martin, is a total bore. How many times does she have to nap and eat that’s really all she wants to do is eat and nap. And she has such a bad attitude about everything. I wish I hadn’t already gotten some more of her books because I’m about through with them.
