Reread: I liked the mystery, but the (fortunately mild) respiratory disease that swept the village at the start of the book was a bit too close to home this time. Did not like the 180 personality change of one of the recurring characters

Spoiler

Jack McBride goes from a great character who deeply loves Bree Pym to a guy who breaks up with her over the phone just before Christmas

This cozy mystery series is a nice change from the thrillers and historical novels in my reading list. And I do love Aunt Dimity.

Aunt Dimity is one of my all-time favourite series! It's an automatic "add" to my to read list when a new book comes out.

These books are filled with quirky fun characters, gentle sweet small-town shenanigans, a little bit of mystery and adventure, and just a touch of magic, and I love them!

I've said this before, but this series is like that old, stretched-out, soft fave sweater that you pull out and put on when you want to be comfortable and enjoy yourself. This series - while by no means stretched out - is wonderful, and I highly recommend it!

Cute premise and interesting read, but these have become pretty formulaic.
