Death at the Abbey
After her husband’s death, Liz McLuckie retreats to Whitby to renovate two crumbling cottages—but peace is short-lived. When she finds a professor’s body near the Abbey, drowned yet left on a clifftop, Liz is pulled into a mystery full of secrets, red herrings, quirky friends, and Nelson the bull terrier—the ugliest (and bravest!) dog in Yorkshire.
Death at Neptune Yard
As Whitby prepares for its Goth Festival, a friend’s chilling encounter with the Barghest—Yorkshire’s legendary Dog of Death—triggers a string of mysterious deaths. With whispers of the supernatural rising, Liz McLuckie, her eccentric friends, and Nelson the bull terrier set out to uncover the truth.
Death at the Feast
Liz McLuckie’s quiet retirement is shattered when a friend is accused of poisoning the town mayor. Convinced his fatal allergy was no accident and stunned when his body vanishes before the funeral, Liz teams up with her unpredictable friends to uncover the truth.
Death at the Anchorage
Valentine’s Day turns deadly in Whitby when a séance at a retirement home ends with Clara Bendelow’s shocking murder. Drawn into the mystery, Liz McLuckie uncovers ties to a decades-old suicide and a returning fraudster. With her local friends and dog in tow, she digs deep to reveal the truth.
Death on the Stella Mae
Spring storms batter Whitby just as trawlerman Daniel “Doc” Holliday vanishes from his boat, presumed swept overboard. But Liz McLuckie suspects foul play, and someone is desperate to hide the truth. Liz sets out to uncover what really happened that night, taking her dog and madcap friends along to investigate.
Death on the West Cliff
Summer brings crowds to Whitby, and with them—murder. When the night watchman at the West Cliff Art Gallery is found dead and nothing is stolen, Liz McLuckie suspects art fraud. To expose the truth, she mounts a risky heist with a fake oligarch, two chaotic ten-year-olds, and Nelson the bull terrier. What could go wrong?

well worth the time to read all 6 books.
Lots of ups & downs & surprises in all of these books.
This was a new author for me & I loved the English vocabulary that is so much more descriptive than American English.
The heroine is a bit naive at times, but in the end her gut responses pan out. Her love life really seems to suck though.

Great murder mysteries
I loved the way Jan Durham wove the stories. It made me feel like I was in the middle of them. Her descriptions of Whitby, her walks with her dog, Nelson, and the friends that she shared life with were colorful and descriptive. I hated to see them end!

Starts off quite nice, but there are so many mistakes makes you wonder if this is AI written. In one book the cottages are mixed up. In another book the dog is with her, yet she walks home alone and … surprise… the dog is waiting for her. Getting a bit ridiculous now…

Interesting Read
I liked the story, but really I'm so tired of politically correct books that include lesbian relationships, and thoughts of the great "I Am", as nothing. I detest books that need to be lacking in moral and spiritual attributes.
