About this eBook
The debut that kicked off twenty-two books (and counting...) of the bestselling, beloved Aunt Dimity series. Watch out for Nancy Atherton's latest, Aunt Dimity and the King's Ransom, coming in July 2018 from Viking!
Lori Shepherd thought Aunt Dimity was just a character in a bedtime story...
...Until the Dickensian law firm of Willis & Willis summons her to a reading of the woman's will. Down-on-her-luck Lori learns she's about to inherit a siazable estate--if she can discover the secret hidden in a treasure trove of letters in Dimity's English country cottage. What begins as a fairy tale becomes a mystery--and a ghost story--in an improbably cozy setting, as Aunt Dimity's indominable spirit leads Lori on an otherworldly quest to discover how, in this life, true love can conquer all.

This has been one of my most loved books from the first time I read it yesrs ago. It is a heartwarming tale of love and loss, and how we can forget that in every storm, if we truly look hard enough, there may just may be a rainbow. Sounds sappy, right? I promise it's not, although I usually do tear up in a place or two, but Lori is a feisty heroine who doesn't believe in Prince Charming - or ghosts for that matter! Read with an open heart and open mind and you too will fall helplessly in love, and it won't hurt a bit.

What I read had me wanting to read more. Will Lori find that Aunt Dimity's was real and why did she have to tell an Aunt Dimity's story?. I can't wait to finish the book.
