Elizabeth asked Eleanor Kuhns:

I'm confused as to the order of your books. I read A Simple Murder. Death of a Dryer is next, set in 1796, with Will, David, & Lydia, as the housekeeper, back at his farm. Cradle to Grave is #3, set in 1797. A Death in Salem is shown as the 4th book yet it is set in 1796, and has Will with a pregnant wife. Then The Devil's Cold Dish is also set in 1796. I prefer to read in order. Help, what is the order?

Eleanor Kuhns I was just wondering today if someone would pick this up. You got caught in an editorial mess. As I wrote them, this is the year order: A Simple Murder - 1796. Death of a Dyer - 1796. Cradle to Grave, Death in Salem, and the new one, A Devil's Cold Dish, all 1797. Cradle to Grave is winter, to early spring, Death in Salem is June, and the new one is summer. By the time I saw the changed dates on the jacket blurb, no less, it was too late to change the date. Sorry for the confusion. I am so glad you wrote in.
