Aunt Dimity Takes a Holiday
2 journalers for this copy...
Light little mystery that you can read in one sitting or less. I'd read the first Aunt Dimity a month or so back and enjoyed it, and now this one which is further down the series. It seems that missing the intermediate 7 or so didn't hurt my understanding of characters or plots much, except that Lori and Bill seemed to have gained a pair of 3 year old twin boys. That's how life is, though sometimes -- going from the blush of a proposal to the toddler years in the blink of an eye.
Anyway, the story (more story than mystery, definitely) moves along with minimal help from Aunt Dimity's ghost (though she does help provide information on what to pack for a weekend in the country and which is the correct fork to use for fish.) All one has to do to find the baddie is note which character is only described, but never earns a name until the very end of the story. But one doesn't read this kind of book for the suspense, I suppose... All in all, I think I prefer when Lord Peter takes a holiday.
