Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

If you're looking for arch, cancel the trip to Chartres. Here's the third in a pointedly cute series featuring the ghost of "Aunt" Dimity, the dead friend of heroine Lori Shepherd's mother. Lori plans a second honeymoon for herself and her overworked husband, lawyer Bill Willis, in the idyllic English cottage Lori inherited from Dimity (Aunt Dimity's Death, 1992). When a case keeps Bill in Boston, Lori heads overseas with her father-in-law, William Willis Sr. He suddenly disappears, taking Lori's pink flannel bunny, Reginald, and leaving an enigmatic note about family business. Further clues come from Dimity's ghost via her leather-bound journal, in which Lori observes Dimity's handwriting materialize on the page. Lori tracks Willis Sr., accompanied by her friend Emma's precocious 12-year-old stepdaughter, Nell, and Nell's teddy bear, Bertie, through the picturesque countryside to London. There she finds the British Willises?including sexy Gerald, efficient Lucy and bumbling Arthur?who are at odds, their family law firm in disarray. The plot hangs on an 18th-century feud that divided the family, resulting in murder and theft, and leading to present-day blackmail; the villain is easily identified. At the end of this amusing but silly tale, Bill and pregnant Lori move to England, delighting Aunt Dimity's ghost. Author tour.

From Library Journal

Atherton's third serial title once again mixes mystery with a bit of gothic romance. Because her husband has a last-minute conflict, pretty Lori ends up at Aunt Dimity's English country cottage with her father-in-law instead. When he disappears, Lori searches?and finds an old family secret. For fans.

This review is from: Aunt Dimitys Good Deed (Mass Market Paperback)
I just "found" this series of books and have now read 4 and find them to be delightful. This is a well written book but easy to read. It's like going on a vacation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Books by Nancy Atherton are to be read, savoured & treasured, Jun 18 1999
I happened upon Aunt Dimity Digs In, while in a bookshop about two years ago, read and absolutely delighted in Lori and Bill's antics with their twins. I was absolutely hooked!! Purchased and voraciously read Atherton's other Aunt Dimity novels in their proper order, delighting in each volume as does a chocoholic when gifted a box of heavenly morsels. Aunt Dimity's Good Deed was a great read. Lori's going to England with her father-in-law when she intended to have a second honeymoon with Bill was an adorable twist. From the beginning as Mr. Willis mysteriously disappears along with Reginald and Aunt Dimity (and her blue leather bound journal), through to the totally satisfying end, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I was very sorry when the story ended .... as I am when all of Aunt Dimity's tales end. All of Nancy's (sorry, I can't help but feel on a first name basis with her) Aunt Dimity stories have been satisfying delicious. Each and every of Aunt Dimity's stories brings out a different character's personality, and brings each and every one of them more to life. From Lori, Bill and their beautiful twin boys to the Pym Sisters, each unique person seems chosen by Aunt Dimity to add spice, merriment, intrigue and life to each other's lives and the story. Do I believe that Aunt Dimity can have possibly found a way to come back from the dead? Could I possibly believe that she is able to make contact through journalistic entries in her blue leather notebook? You bet, I do !!! Horray for Nancy Atherton ... The only thing I can't believe is how long it's taken Nancy to gift us with more of Aunt Dimity's wisdom.
