    I have seen in several places “A Dublin Student Doctor is a prequel to the novel An Irish Country Christmas.” which would place it third….but I have seen it more often in publication order later(as you have indicated). His site just has them listed in publication order. Sigh.

      Yep from a quick look that appears to be correct – that’s where that one falls chronologically and I don’t believe the others are out of order at all.

    I think “Dublin Student Doctor” is later in chronological order than number three. Barry’s girlfriend here is Sue and we’ve had no mention yet of the dissolution of his relationship with Patricia
