Series: An Aunt Dimity Mystery
by Author Nancy Atherton
Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea (2007)
I really enjoyed this book. I think it's more about my desperation to find and read good books with female protagonists, than a statement about this book. Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea breaks all the rules, and does it badly. It's filled with telling instead of showing. What this means is it'...
Aunt Dimity Digs In (1999)
I’m such a fan of Nancy Atherton’s, I savour ‘Lori et al’ but must concede a mellower rating. “Aunt Dimity Digs In” treated me to the usual eloquence and whimsy, although I felt left out, to meet the twins at four months. Nancy evoked understanding as colourfully as always; a parent too bedrag...
Aunt Dimity's Christmas (2000)

Aunt Dimity Takes a Holiday (2004)
Threatening notes and family drama take precedence when Lori and Bill stay at Derek's family estate for a week. We finally get the lowdown on Derek's background. It's far-fetched that the family's extremely high social standing might have escaped Emma's notice over the years - after all, Nell and...

However, the occasion is still a catalyst for stunning revelations about the townspeople.The rumor mill of Finch is as industrious as any. Atherton lets ...
Aunt Dimity Beats The Devil (2001)
When this book came up in a reading group, I was sure that I had read it, I love this series so when I went looking for my review, I could not find it anywhere. I was beginning to wonder if I had unwittingly skipped it. As soon as I finished the first chapter I knew the story, well, I thought I ...
