"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 sizable 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 indomitable spirit leads Lori on an otherworldly quest to discover how, in this life, true love can conquer all." (from the back cover)

A Penquin Mystery, 1992. Paperback. 245 pages.

When starting to read this novel, I was expecting a murder mystery. Yes, this is a mystery alright, but whether there is a crime involved is for the reader to find out. There are puzzles to be solved, there is some magic and romance, and a lovely English cottage. Light reading on a hot summer day.

Country challenge (Finnish forum): USA, UK. Also, Bill (one of the main characters) has spent a couple of years in the Peace Corps in Swaziland.

This was charming. I meant to just journal it and put it onto my TBR mountain but it grabbed me and pulled me in. It was a quick read and I agree that the romantic elements were fairly predictable but the general plot had me fooled for a while as I was expecting a cozy murder-mystery based on the title and beginning.

I've already got the UK and the USA covered for the 666 Around the World Reading challenge but I'll be sure to pass this on to another reader.
