From Booklist

Atherton continues her delightfully quirky Aunt Dimity series in fine style as a poison pen infiltrates a house party at the country estate of a British earl. When her best friend learns that her husband is heir to both an earldom and a fortune, Lori Shepard agrees to accompany a decidedly nervous Emma Harris to Hailesham Park to meet her in-laws. Of course, Lori enlists the help of her "Aunt Dimity," a blithe spirit who reveals her thoughts and opinions to Lori via the seemingly blank pages of a treasured journal. When one of the guests begins receiving threatening letters, it is up to the irrepressible Lori and her phantom sidekick to unravel a tangled family history in order to expose a twisted motive for mayhem. Chock-full of stiff upper lips and skeletons in the closet, this charming trifle will appeal to fans of cozy little mysteries. Margaret Flanagan

Book Description

When Lori Shepherd's husband, Bill, is summoned to a will reading at the Earl of Harrisford's resplendent Palladian home, Lori herself thinks she is just along for the ride. But this gathering of the entire Harrisford clan, all of them affected by the earl's new will, devolves into a dangerous family dispute.

Burning topiaries, threatening notes, suspicious maids, and family intrigue lead Lori to seek her phantom aunt's help in identifying the culprit before he or she can torch the whole house and its guests within. Atherton's signature whimsy and splendidly original twists make for yet one more delicious adventure with cozy mystery lovers' favorite supernatural sleuth.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great Weekend Mystery, Déc 20 2003
Par Charlotte "gotshakespeare" (Charlotte, NC United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This book is a good mystery. The plot is always complex, but not confusing, and very well written. These stories are perfectly situated in England. The titles of these Aunt Dimity series are a bit misleading. By the title I thought it would be about a little lady who travels and gets involved in little mysteries, like Agatha Christie's Poirot and also her Miss Marple, etc. The stories are about a woman named Lori, who is married to a lawyer husband (who travels a lot) and has two little twin baby boys. In this particular story, she is invited, by her neighbor and friend, Emma, to come with her to meet her husband's wealthy English family (who she doesn't know existed). Her husband is the lawyer for Emma's in-laws, and so Lori is invited and goes with both her friend and her husband. On their arrival a sculpted bush (to look like a turtledove) is in flames. Soon, anonymous poison pen threat notes start arriving to a certain person in the book, and Lori has to figure out who's writing the notes, etc. Aunt Dimity was a rich eclectic woman. She was the best friend of Lori's mother, and having no family of her own to pass on the huge trust fund she had accumulated over the years, she passed it on to Lori when she died, along with her little stone cottage, set in the heart of the English countryside, and a blue bound journal. Through this journal she communicates with Lori, even after her death. This part is kind of strange, though I say it myself, but adds a bit of quirkiness to the book that is charming.This book is a great (shorter) mystery novel, a great way to just cuddle up, read, and relax during the weekend.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Great One, Juil 14 2003
Par Un client
I'm an Atherton fan. Have loved every Aunt Dimity so far. Nancy hit the mark again on this one. Easy read and fun characters. Honestly, I did have some tears at the end.
Appreciate her development of the characters. Keep up the good work.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The best yet., Jui 9 2003
I have read all of Aunt Dimity's adventures and have grown fond of these people. The author moves the plot along quickly without treating the clearly drawn characters as puppets. I felt Lori's growing fondness for the people she met and grew to understand them with her. The author is very relationally centered. I don't consider this "light" or fluff. I had tears at the ending. Though I hated for it to end, I couldn't put it down till it did. Hope I don't have to wait too long for the next one.
