review 1: I enjoyed these books very much. They are light reading with charming characters and that is what I like about them. These are people I would like to know. These are not great books that are going to ask deep questions and cause you to think deep thoughts and that's why I like them. I save them for when I need a vacation from deep questions and thoughts. I look forward to each book being published as I look forward to a quick lunch with an old friend to catch up on our lives. These are gentle books. Thank you for that Nancy Atherton. Sometimes I need a gentle book with charming characters to hang out with.
review 2: *I read this version with the first two books together, but I also reviewed them seperately. Here are my reviews:I thought this book was de... morelightful, fun, and unique. It begins with Lori, a 30 something woman whose mother has died, and she is trying to cope with failures and sorrow at every turn. That is until she gets a message to meet with a Mr Willis at a law firm and discovers that the stories her mother had told her as a child were about a real woman. A real woman who has left her with a special charge, to read 40 years worth of correspondance between herself, Dimity, and Lori's mother. It is while she is doing this, she learns to open up to life again, and even love. This is a series, and I can't wait to read the next book.The second in the Aunt Dimity series, it is the story of Emma, an American computer specialist who has just been left by her boyfriend of 15 years. Emma goes on a vacation to England, partly to escape, and partly to explore the beautiful gardens. While she is there, she meets some ladies that send her to the Duke's home, where instead of visiting a garden, she ends up being hired to create one. It is while she is in the midst of this, that she meets Derek, and despite her better judgement, begins to fall in love. It is also then, that she and Derek discover that there might be more to the Duke's fortune than meets the eye, and that it is possible that he might be guilty of terrible things, including murder. I really enjoyed this book. It was another light mystery with a sweet romance entwined in it. And of course, behind the scenes is Aunt Dimity, guiding everyone to where they need to be. less
