The debut that kicked off twenty-two books (and counting…) of the bestselling, beloved Aunt Dimity series. Watch out for Nancy Atherton’s latest, Aunt Dimity and the King’s Ransom, coming in July 2018 from Viking!Lori Shepherd thought Aunt Dimity was just a character in a bedtime story……Until the Dickensian law firm of Willis & Willis summons her to a reading of the woman’s will. … reading of the woman’s will. Down-on-her-luck Lori learns she’s about to inherit a siazable estate–if she can discover the secret hidden in a treasure trove of letters in Dimity’s English country cottage. What begins as a fairy tale becomes a mystery–and a ghost story–in an improbably cozy setting, as Aunt Dimity’s indominable spirit leads Lori on an otherworldly quest to discover how, in this life, true love can conquer all.

I am writing about all of Atherton’s series of Aunt Dimity. They are some of the best books I have read and I am going to order more when I have a chance. They keep me from going to sleep because I can’t stop reading them. I have fallen in love with all the characters in the books. I feel they are all my friends. Everybody should read them!!!
Love this series- makes me wish I lived in that village.
Tremendous
Boring
One of those books that could have been very interesting, but each twist and turn could be seen from a mile away. Characters were very banal and one-dimensional.
Love the Aunt Dimity series!!
Good
I loved reading this book. It was entertaining and witty and so much fun! I’d recommend this to someone looking for a light hearted mystery.
I wanted to like this story because the characters were so likable and entertaining but she wrote in so much detail that it became tedious.
I love this series I am in the process of reading all a second time around
First in a series of British based cosy mysteries. Fun.
Enjoyed the book and would have followed the series except I found the price more than the value.
Really enjoyed this book.
I’ve enjoyed several books in the series so I was glad to get the first one. It is as excellent and the characters are very likable.
I love this whole series!! Bought this book again because it’s been years since I first read it!
I absolutely loved this book. I don’t know what it was about it, apart from being beautifully written, cos normally as soon as a book starts to get a bit unreal I want to put it down– and this is basically a ghost story!
Good fun! Can’t wait to read more of Nancy Atherton’s stories.Some sweet, some sad and some funny. Loved it.
I love all her books! You can pour a cup of tea, settle back on the sofa with a dog in your lap and forget all your worries for a couple of hours!
Wonderful series
Enjoyed it – it is a good stand alone book!
