Introducing Aunt Dimity, Paranormal Detective: The First Two Books In The Beloved Series (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Introducing Aunt Dimity, Paranormal Detective is really 2 books, the 1st 2 in a series. In Aunt Dimity's Death, the 1st book, Aunt Dimity's American niece, Lori Shepherd, had long thought her mother's childhood tales of Aunt Dimity were merely comforting bedtime stories. But when a pair of lawyers informs her that her mysterious aunt has just died and made the down-on-her-luck Lori a rich woman, she finds a reason to believe. Not your typical detective story, a bit predictible, but a very pleasant, fun read. Lori and one of the lawyers, the son in the father-son firm, travel to England to do some things in Aunt Dimity's English cottage. Aunt Dimity's spirit helps out. Very fun! I went to the bookstore trying to find copies of the Mrs. Pollifax novels to buy as a gift (but apparently they are no longer printed). This was suggested to me as an alternate and I had to buy the book for myself. I couldn't conceive of giving a book to someone that I hadn't read myself and boy am I glad I did, read it myself that is. Aunt Dimity sounds like a fun lady to meet, and her version of paranormal is one I can really get behind (it is the special kind that makes sure you don't burn crumpets and make perfect oatmeal raisin cookies every time).
What do You think about Introducing Aunt Dimity, Paranormal Detective: The First Two Books In The Beloved Series (2009)?
An easy night-time read. Tried another in the series, but wasn't able to get into it.
