Aunt Dimity and the Widow's Curse by Nancy Atherton
5.0
This was my first Aunt Dimity book, and I'm surprised at myself having not read one until now- I've been very aware of the series for years but somehow never got around to them. This was a lovely read, as soothing as a good cup of tea on a rainy spring day. This one is unusual for a murder mystery because the mystery is whether or not a murder actually occurred....and was there more than one?
I love little mystery novels like this, that focus on characters and story more than murder and shock value. They make for nice "palate cleansers" between more hefty books that can overwhelm or overload, like a nice walk after an intense workout. I was prepared for it to feel tired or boring being that it's #22 in a series, but it didn't at all. The day after I finished this, I stumbled upon the first from the series in my local bookshop and picked it up so I can start from the beginning.
