Aunt Dimity is dead but communicates to Lori directly from the spirit world via a writing journal which is blue in color and has a leather cover. Aunt Dimity is famous for being a romantic ghost often solving romantic mysteries.
The fictional adventures has a lot of set locations from which its story is set and told but most of them are in the United Kingdom especially in the once again fictitious town of Finch, Cotswolds in England. Aunt Dimity series is written by Nancy Atherton who is an American writer and author who currently resides in Colorado.
This is the first of the Aunt Dimity series by Nancy Atherton authored by first time romance and mystery author and writer Nancy Atherton. Nancy Atherton introduces us to Lori Shepherd, a recently divorced woman who has just lost her mother and is met by an even more sad news when she is informed of her aunt Dimity Westwood passing on.
Lori often thought that Aunt Dimity was a fictional character just tailored up by her mother for reasons that could have been known best only to her. Which they find. The English cottage belonged to her then deceased aunt before her death. She haunts it. Her spirit is alive and well in it. Consequently, she does not want her secret discovered and therefore tries by all means to prevent them from knowing her story.
Aunt Dimity helps Lori to find her true and inner self and to help her see that only true love can conquer not only something, someone but also everything.
Here then, the unusual encounter between Lori and her Aunt Dimity begin. In this very time book from the Aunty Dimity series by Nancy Atherton she introduces us to the protagonist or in this case the main character who is Lori Shepherd. Lori lives in Boston, Massachusetts.
She is recently divorced and has just lost her mother. He is the one who delivers news about her death and even about her requesting that Lori prepare her works for publication. He has a son named Bill whose most noticeable trait is being attentive and a good listener. Last but not least is Dimity Westwood.
Note that, Finch, is just a fictitious town in this book and it does not really exist. Clark Gable was popularly demanded as Rhett Butler, though author M. Mitchell imagined Groucho Marx! The Miss Julias are among a number of cozies mystery or otherwise with omnicompetent African-American cook-majors-domo. We also as a family were from small towns — maybe that was a factor?
Good question! I wonder about if black servants are still a custom in the south, they always seem to be so warm and wise. I just read my first Aunt Dimity book and loved it. Second one just signed out. So happy to have discovered this. I like the idea of Aunt Dimity being more magical than paranormal. However you define her, she is delightful and I wish I had an Aunt Dimity book I could pull out for wisdom and advice when needed. The author does a marvelous job in unraveling knots that lead to solving a conundrum that is bothering the lovely characters that populate this series.

I just wish I had an Aunt Dimity of my own… and a pink flannel rabbit… with a spot of grape juice on his snout… There are so many things I love about this series, not the least of which is that no actual characters are harmed in the making…! I just love this series so much! Disappearing into a book is my favorite way of taking a break from the stresses and worries of COVID While I enjoy many literary styles, mystery remains my favorite.
