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 enjoyed reading the series of books. They are the kind of book you can pick up and read and know right where you are; no trying to remember who is who, you just settle down to a good read.
An enjoyable, easy read with an interesting storyline. Did have a problem with the young age of one of the characters involved in solving the mystery but other than that I’m ready for the next book in the series!
I love all the Aunt Dimity books. They are like taking a vacation.
Such a great series! Always a life lesson at the end. Leaves you with good vibes.
Delightful! A funny, whimsical read that leaves the reader pleased.
I have loved all of the Aunt Dimity’s books and recommend them to all my friends and family.
Aunt Dimity has good adventures without getting too close to gruesome or vicious experiences.
Fun, entertaining and I often find myself laughing out loud at Lori and the situations she gets into.
You can never go wrong with Aunt Dimity on your side. Such a fun read and you get to solve a mystery while enjoying this great series.
Love all Aunt Dimity books!!
Good book
It was a good read. My only problem I was slightly confused at times. Also the main character was not identified by name until page 47 so that was difficult for me.
Aunt Dimity never disappoints
The Aunt Dimity series is a winner! You can pick any of the books up and read straight through to the end or keep it in your bag and have a great book handy that you can return to over many visits.
The characters and locations are beautifully described and I can always imagine myself right amidst the village action or London’s vibrant hustle and bustle.
I began reading these years ago, slowed down during grad school and now am back full time! You will love these if you give any one of them a chance.
I’ve read, and loved the entire Aunt Dimity series. I can “see” the setting in my mind & the characters are wonderfully written. Great, interesting, inventive stories with a twist of whimsy.
I first read Aunt Dimity’s death and I have read many of the following. However, they are too expensive to read if they are not on sale. I have not found one so far that I did not like. The characters have flaws which they seem to be able to rise above. Worth the read.
I love this series. I’ve never stuck with a series through this many books. But I’m looking forward to the next Aunt Dimity. The characters have become old friends.
I just adore Aunt Dimity! It is such an unpredictable concept that Aunt D communicates by writing in a journal. It is a fun read with great characters. Write on, Aunt Dimity…appear in my journal, please.
Great, fun series. I really enjoy the characters even though I don’t believe in ghosts.
A very fun read! I don’t normally like ‘ghost’ stories, but this one is fun with good mystery and interesting characters. There are some laugh out loud lines and as a cozy mystery it is a winner.
