Aunt Dimity Mystery

The third in the bestselling and beloved Aunt Dimity series. Watch out for Nancy Atherton''s latest, Aunt Dimity and the Widow''s Curse, coming in May 2017 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 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.
