Quick read, following a down on her luck woman (Lori) who out of the blue receives an inheritance from someone she thought was a fictional character, Aunt Dimity. Lori was raised by a single mom who told her wonderful stories starring Aunt Dimity, an archetypal British eccentric. Imagine Lori’s surprise when, after her divorce, her mom’s death, and struggling to make ends meet, she is left a bequest that requires her to travel to England and live in Aunt Dimity’s cottage for a month.
Once there, a mystery emerges that Lori determines to solve with the help of Bill, the young partner in the law firm handling Aunt Dimity’s estate. The story was fun, moderately predictable, and a nice bit of escapism. It did leave me wanting to read more in the series.
