Praise for Nancy Atherton and the Aunt Dimity series

"Every scene is superbly crafted to perfection. Even if you have not read all the books in this series, I have not, you can enjoy and immerse yourself in this cozy mystery.” —Open Book Society

"I love the graceful style... the sense of tight-knit community, characters who aren’t afraid to be themselves, and, the unique paranormal element...I only wish I had learned about this series earlier." —Gotta Write Network

"In the realm of the cozy mystery, there are few series that can hold a candle to Atherton's Aunt Dimity series." —everydayebook.com

5.0 out of 5 stars This series is so worth reading! Don’t miss any!

I borrowed my first book from the library. I loved it so much , I couldn’t put it down. It was written so well and takes the reader right into the lives of the characters. I was so intrigued and continued to read every one in the series week by week. I have finished reading every one the library has. So instead of waiting for them to get this one, I decided to buy it myself. So worth reading. Never disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Aunt Dimity Adventure!

Every book I have read in this series has been wonderful and this book was no exception. The main characters are like old and treasured friends to me and I am eager with each book to see how all of them are faring. The plot is easily followed and trouble has yet again followed our favorite mother and wife. Read the book to see what happens! I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read, except for Lori

I enjoy the Aunt Dimity stories and Nancy Atherton writes well. But, I can hardly get past my dislike for Lori. She is a jerk. She's close to 40, but attracted to 21 year olds?! I really don't like her. Perhaps the author could kill her off and have Bill (who's stupid to put up with her) find someone better!

I enjoyed the whimsical nature of the travel of Lori annalise and the boys s to Colorado. All the doppllegangers in town, made it ok for Lori to recoup her sanity and peace. And a second ghost took up residence in the journal how freaky. Interesting twist at the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another fun adventure
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2014
Verified Purchase
Lori and Aunt Dimity take us on another fun adventure--and this time, it was in my own back yard of Colorado. These aren't for the hard core, Spencer lovers. These are for an afternoon on the couch, when it's too nasty outside to work outside. They inspire you to cook, (wish there were a compendium of the recipes) to garden--if only to sniff lilacs, heliotrope, etc, and smile when Lori's twins manage to make life interesting, while long suffering husband Bill manages to surprise when you least expect it. The countryside in Colorado is definitely well portrayed, which was a plus

A fun story with a whole different perspective. The mystery of the "gold or no gold" was fascinating. Actually, it was the second time I have read this particular book. I bought it at the airport when I was traveling a couple of years ago. I enjoyed the second reading as much as the first.

Bill stays home AGAIN and the nanny gets to come. Nicely mysterious tale about dude ranches and the wealthy souls who build cool lodges on the ruins of the graves of miners. More insanity from the villains, and the nice young man who keeps Lori on track is a fave.

4.0 out of 5 stars and it is good clean fun to read it
Reviewed in Canada on May 20, 2016

Nancy is the queen of cozy mystery. The characters are always liable, and it is good clean fun to read it. It will appeal to those that don't like reading books with heavy murder themes. This is more about the mystery, the characters and community.
