Summary: Great Weekend Mystery
Comment: This book is a good mystery. The plot is always complex, but not confusing, and very well written. These stories are perfectly situated in England. The titles of these Aunt Dimity series are a bit misleading. By the title I thought it would be about a little lady who travels and gets involved in little mysteries, like Agatha Christie's Poirot and also her Miss Marple, etc. The stories are about a woman named Lori, who is married to a lawyer husband (who travels a lot) and has two little twin baby boys. In this particular story, she is invited, by her neighbor and friend, Emma, to come with her to meet her husband's wealthy English family (who she doesn't know existed). Her husband is the lawyer for Emma's in-laws, and so Lori is invited and goes with both her friend and her husband. On their arrival a sculpted bush (to look like a turtledove) is in flames. Soon, anonymous poison pen threat notes start arriving to a certain person in the book, and Lori has to figure out who's writing the notes, etc. Aunt Dimity was a rich eclectic woman. She was the best friend of Lori's mother, and having no family of her own to pass on the huge trust fund she had accumulated over the years, she passed it on to Lori when she died, along with her little stone cottage, set in the heart of the English countryside, and a blue bound journal. Through this journal she communicates with Lori, even after her death. This part is kind of strange, though I say it myself, but adds a bit of quirkiness to the book that is charming.This book is a great (shorter) mystery novel, a great way to just cuddle up, read, and relax during the weekend.

Summary: Aunt Dimity is a Delight
Comment: I am an avid mystery reader but this is the first Aunt Dimity book I've read. I LOVED it. It's funny, delightful and charming. Set in an English manor the author gives enough description of the home, the rooms, the grounds, etc to make the reader feel they are there. The central characters are fully developed so the reader feels that these people are, at the very least, friendly acqaintances if not friends. It's an easy read and not heavy on the blood and gore which is just fine. What can I say, Aunty Dimity has gained a new fan.

Summary: Another Great One
Comment: I'm an Atherton fan. Have loved every Aunt Dimity so far. Nancy hit the mark again on this one. Easy read and fun characters. Honestly, I did have some tears at the end.
Appreciate her development of the characters. Keep up the good work.
