A good rule of thumb is that series have a conventional name and are intentional creations , on the part of the author or publisher.

For now, avoid forcing the issue with mere "lists" of works possessing an arbitrary shared characteristic, such as relating to a particular place.

Avoid series that cross authors, unless the authors were or became aware of the series identification eg. Also avoid publisher series, unless the publisher has a true monopoly over the "works" in question. So, the Dummies guides are a series of works.

Nov 28, Spuddie rated it liked it. Another decent book in this series set a couple of decades after William the Conqueror stormed the shores of the British Isles. Sir Ralph Delchard and Gervase Bret are commissioned by the King to travel around settling land disputes, levying taxes and keeping the Domesday Book up to date. Traveling with them in place of the ailing Canon Hubert is a new member of the team who is soon to be discovered not at all what he seems.

The group is also accompanied by Sir Ralph's new wife Golde, a Saxon woman he met on one of their previous cases. A horse race gone wrong--one of the contestants was murdered along the race course--is detracting from the settlement of the land dispute the commissioners have come to hear, but as their new member has been dismissed and Canon Hubert has not yet arrived, Ralph and Gervase take an interest in the murder since the disputants are also involved in the horse race.

I really like this time period, and the stories are generally quite good, although the dialogue feels unnaturally stiff most of the time. It's what I've come to expect, though. I still like the series well enough to carry on reading. Excellent Excellent read Good plot, a touch of humour in delivery, and good historical narrative, - which I hope is reasonably accurate.

For one thing he is much more prone to a military view This is in the Domesday Book series, in which the commissioners travel to Oxford from Winchester to oversee counter claims on property, as is their job.

For one thing he is much more prone to a military view of the world. This would seem to put him and Relph Delchard on similar footing, but somehow he seems much less likable. When they arrive in Oxford, it is to find the castle in a small uproar: He is summarily thrown into the dungeon: Quite soon the commissioners are presented with a case they cannot resolve amicably. Maurice Pagnal insists on resolving against the church claimant, while the other two are less easily persuaded.

Finally, the monk representing the church rises to charge Pagnal with taking a bribe.
