Reviews for Aunt Dimity's Death
Review - Aunt Dimity's Death
This book gets high ratings on Amazon, and it was on the list of 100 best mysteries.
If ever a mystery fit into the category known as "Cozies," this is it — a stately mansion in Boston, a cottage in the Cotswolds, an elegant hotel in London, a Scottish mansion, two elderly sisters named Ruth and Louise (like my Mom and her sister!), a friendly ghost, a love story, a recipe for oatmeal cookies ... it had it all.
And nearly made me sick to my stomach. It was way, way over-the-top treacly and sentimental, and I won't be reading any more in the series.
But if you like that kind of thing, you'll probably find this to be the kind of thing that you like.
