My first deliberate foray into the world of the cosy mystery (thanks Read Harder!) and I had a lovely time. Sweetly gentle and satisfyingly readable.

This book threw me. I honestly didn’t expect to like it nearly as much as I did. I would have never picked it off the shelf if it hadn’t been recommended to- no, INSISTED upon me. And I am so happy that it was. I needed this book. It’s a story of personal growth, of lost love, regrets, friendship, death, and a mystery of piecing together the past in order to heal and create a future. It was about what holding on can do to a person, if they hold on to the wrong things. It was about finding the mundane parts of life and turning them into an epic adventure. My only complaint is that it was only 250 pages.

A very fun cozy mystery. I am intrigued to see where this series goes. It has good mysteries, romance, and a fun cast of characters. I look forward to the next one. There is a real "ghost" in this but its not an evil ghost.

My sister has been after me to read these books. I was not excited. She finally bought me a copy and guilted me into it. Better than expected and very different. I love a good mystery, especially one without murder. Parts were predictable, but it was a sweet, quick read.

Loved it. Cute, fast read. Mystery... that's not about a murder!

I loved this book, mostly because I want the amazing luck and sad fortune and ghostly guardian, and and and, sigh. this is the kind of romance book I love - a mystery, handsome Brit, and a blue notebook

I stumbled across this series when reviewing a newly published book list for the leisure collection at the library. The new book (#19), "Aunt Dimity and the Lost Prince", sounded interesting so upon further review I thought I would try the series -- and I HAVE to start series at the beginning.
"Aunt Dimity's Death" involves a stuffed rabbit, a quaint cottage in the English countryside, a little bit of romance, a little bit of mystery, and a ghost. Paranormal stuff isn't normally my cup of tea, hmm, but this book just epitomizes "cozy mystery". There was no gruesome murder, the ghost wasn't scary, and the characters are so relatable.
The plot could have been tighter, but for an enjoyable read on a lazy Sunday afternoon this was a perfect fit. I think you'll enjoy it.
