Summary: A murder in Finch!
Comment: Lori Shepherd has just returned from a holiday visit to her husband Bill Willis' family in Boston. She is surprised to learn that a newcomer to the village, Prunella (Pruneface) Hooper has died, apparently a murder. The vicar's mysterious nephew and Lori are intrigued by the mystery, and the fact that the police have no clues and no witnesses, although many people were out and about that morning. Pruneface was very unpopular with the local populace, being a vicious gossip and possibly a blackmailer. Lori finds out that the people of Finch have many secrets and that Aunt Dimity, although wise, does not know everything.
This is the latest in a very good series featuring Aunt Dimity, a ghost who communicates with Lori and Bill via a blue journal. This is a very good addition to the series and I read it in one sitting.

Summary: A sweet cozy
Comment: American expatriates Bill Willis and Lori Shepherd were staying with his parents in Boston when someone in their English village of Finch killed "Pruneface" Hooper. When the married couple with different last names returns home to Finch, the news of the homicide stun both of them because the last murder in Finch occurred in 1872.
Eleven days pass without the case being solved because everyone seemed to have a reason to see the mean-spited gossip Pruneface dead. Deciding it is time to get involved, Lori turns to her sleuthing guide the spirit of "Aunt" Dimity Westwood, former resident of Lori's cottage. Through Dimity's blue journal, the ghost and Lori communicate. Though the townsfolk remain reticent, Lori and Dimity accompanied by Nicholas Fox, the visiting nephew of the vicar begin to investigate.
The seventh Aunt Dimity tale retains the freshness of the series as the supernatural and the mortal combine forces to uncover the identity of a killer. Nicholas gives readers a different view of Lori especially since Bill is in London for most of the novel. The who-done-it is fun to try to figure out as most of the villagers had cause to see Pruneface dead. Anyone who enjoys a contemporary English village mystery with a large dose of the paranormal will enjoy AUNT DIMITY: DETECTIVE and Nancy Atherton's previous supernatural-amateur sleuth stories.

Summary: Aunt Dimity: Detective....
Comment: This series is just delightful. They are not ANYTHING like a Stephen King book (his are brilliant, but they scare me so much - I can't even begin to read another one). They are maybe similar to comparing witch tales to Wizard of OZ. Aunt Dimity is like someone's "Aunt Bee." They do NOT dwell really at all in the spirital, ghostly aspect.
Start with the 1st - "Aunt Dimity's Death" and I promise that you will come back for more.
