review 1: Oh how I loved this book!Finally I found an Aunt Dimity- novel which brought the magic back to me!Like in all the other novels written by Nancy Atherton, I loved the setting. I don't live in the UK, but thats how I always imagined a secluded little town, it's simply perfect. Especially in this installment, because where could travel rumours faster than in such a little town like this? I laughed very often while reading, the story of the handmaidens, the scheme of Sally, the rumours concerning the client of William Willis Sr and Willis Sr himself were too funny.But I missed Aunt Dimity again. I'd ove to read more of her, and maybe get to know more about her history like in the first novels in this series.Nonotheleft, I rate this novel with 4,5 stars.
review 2: T... morehere are people who do not love the Aunt Dimity books, which I find nearly impossible to understand. I suppose that having the title character already be dead might be a turn-off, but really, well-bred and smart Aunt Dimity is not very intrusive: she waits to be consulted, no haunting for her. And the bad guys are seldom bad at all -- mostly just self-centered and occasionally irritating. I suppose some people miss that in a book. These people are way too serious, in my opinion. So if you want your fiction red in tooth and claw and/or cynically jaundiced, just forget this series. Ain't gonna find what you like here. But for all the rest of us, who occasionally like a usually humorous and always charming read with people you (mostly) would not mind as house guests, this is the series to turn to. This particular book is about the 15th or 16th in the series and it is a particularly delightful one, including some surprising plot turns and an elaborate attempt to perpetuate a harmless fraud on an entire English village full of busybodies with way too much time on their hands. You might rather read these in order, since at least three-quarters of the characters have been introduced in previous books (and there are a few life changes to some of the main ones that might limit the suspense in previous books). But if this sort of thing doesn't bother you, you'll like this one very much -- assuming you like this sort of thing at all of course. (See paragraph above). less
