I enjoyed this book as I have the preceding three, but I felt this one was a bit more cliche-ridden than the earlier ones. Way too many characters did that "and suddenly I see the light" and turned from being life long enemies to understanding friends in a moment of insight. It's not that I don't think that can happen, but this book stretched that a bit beyond believable. But it won't stop me from reading other books in the series. This one just the best of the lot, so far.
I love these little books. They are sweet, easy to read, with engaging characters involved in soft mysteries. No murders, just mayhem in the English countryside. Later on, the villains turn creepy, but the books are still fun and engaging. I like them as a break, from all the war novels I read. I also enjoy more hardcore mysteries, too.
I liked this entry in the Aunt Dimity series the most of the ones I've read so far. Lori is overwhelmed with life with twins, but seems happy. There are no murders in this one, but still a mystery, and I lined getting to know the citizens of the village a little more. I'm enjoying working my way through this series.
Continuing the series. It's definitely one that has to be read in order, which is maybe why I thought it (the series, not this volume) was so awful the first time I tried one. But now I'm very fond of these characters and the weirdness of their life and their little village, which is slightly in upheaval here - but not really, in the end. And I didn't quite figure out the culprit of the very gentle crime and it's all sort of the ultimate in cozies, I think?
Another romp with the indomitable Aunt Dimity Westwood! She gets involved with her extended family and has her finger on the pulse of village life in Finch, England. Did I mention that Aunt Dimity is dead? She communicates with her niece, Lori, via a blue notebook in which she writes. In this particular installment, Mrs. Kitchen is up in arms about an archaeological dig taking place too close to the village and the fact that the vicar has given permission for the expedition to be housed in the
