The third in the bestselling and beloved Aunt Dimity series. Watch out for Nancy Atherton’s latest, Aunt Dimity and the King’s Ransom, coming in July 2018 from Viking!Nancy Atherton’s growing number of fans will certainly be delighted by Aunt Dimity’s latest appearance in the honey-colored English cottage she bequeathed to her “niece,” Lori Shepherd. Thanks to Aunt Dimity, Lori’s life has taken … Dimity, Lori’s life has taken on fairy-tale proportions: she’s financially set for life and happily married or so she thinks. When Lori’s plans for a second honeymoon to England with her workaholic husband fall through, she begrudgingly takes along her father-in-law who promptly disappears, leaving behind a mysterious note. Inspired and guided by the ghost of Aunt Dimity and her inimitable blue journal, Lori’s search for the elderly gentleman turns into a harrowing mission to uncover a centuries-old family secret complicated by mistaken identities, falsified deeds, family feuds, and Lori’s unseemly attraction to her husband’s beguiling English cousin. In a delightful chase that takes her all over the English countryside, Lori discovers the true meaning of marital bliss, and Nancy Atherton’s fans, new and old, will savor a masterpiece of old-fashioned fun.

I love all the books in the Aunt Dimity series. I have a personal strong faith in a life after this one, and a belief that those who have preceded us continue to be interested in us and our welfare. In this series of mystery books, Aunt Dimity (who is dead) uses a journal to communicate with, & assist, the heroine of our stories in solving the various puzzles set before her as she tries to navigate life on a new continent.
The writing is delightful & witty; the mysteries are clever & puzzling; and the whole of it is well written & spirited.
Starts out slow but picks up and is interesting.
Loved all of the books in this series!
The whole series is fun.
This series continues to delight me, I’m not sure what took me so long to discover it!
