  <default-description>Lori Shepherd thought Aunt Dimity was just a character in a bedtime story...Until the Dickensian law firm of Willis &amp; Willis summons her to a reading of the woman's will. Down-on-her-luck Lori learns she's about to inherit a sizable estate-if she can discover the secret hidden in a treasure trove of letters in Dimity's English country cottage. What begins as a fariy tale becomes a mystery-and a ghost story-in an improbably cozy setting, as Aunt Dimity's indomitable spirit leads Lori on an otherworldly quest to discover how, in this life, true love can conquer all.

    <body><![CDATA[I almost quit in the middle of Aunt Dimity's Death, waiting for something approaching a mystery to take shape. It seemed to take forever to jell, but once it did, I understood the need for a lengthy intro.

    <body><![CDATA[Not my first Aunt Dimity read - but the first in the series. (All the other books all clicked much better into place not that I've read the first one....funny how that happens.)<br/><br/>This was a cute read - hard on her luck Lori received a summons from an upscale law firm.

    <body><![CDATA[This was such a sweet book. Lori is a thirty-year old woman (I believe) who discovers that the stories she'd been told as a girl, the <em>Aunt Dimity</em> stories, are based on a real person -- Her &quot;aunt&quot;, her mom's best friend, Dimity.

I found the characters very endearing, the plot was not too overdone, and the setting was charming. <br/><br/>At times I felt like things were a bit too jumpy, or at least not very detailed...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54513426">more...</a>]]></body>
