The launch of the series was held in the Lady Chapel of Sherborne Abbey, where the first murder occurs.

Both of these events are factual, as are some of her characters, blended skilfully with others of her imagination.The third book links Sherborne Abbey with the great nunnery in Shaftesbury, and continues the story of Matthias Barton , who has by this time taken in the injured soldier Martin Cooper, and is struggling with his affections for the Coroner’s daughter.
