Best estimate, compiled from series guides, publisher descriptions and reviews where available, and from memory otherwise. Book level only, not chapter level. Minor includes cameos and brief references. Each book carries a confidence rating in its tooltip. The spreadsheet lists Lord Francis Powerscourt, but he is David Dickinson's detective. David Roberts writes the Lord Edward Corinth and Verity Browne series. Years are a best estimate.
