Order of Dandy Gilver Books

Meet Dandy Gilver, the captivating central character of Scottish author Catriona McPherson's beloved historical mystery series. This restless wife and mother finds herself drawn into the world of amateur detection during the interwar period in Scotland, transforming from a woman stifled by domestic routine into a keen investigator with an irrepressible curiosity for solving crimes. Her background as a wartime volunteer nurse adds depth to her character as she navigates the mysteries that come her way.

McPherson launched the Dandy Gilver series in 2005 with After the Armistice Ball, and readers have been following the sleuth's adventures ever since in this continuing series. The books follow both publication and chronological order, making them perfect for readers who enjoy following a character's development through sequential storytelling.
