...Until the Dickensian law firm of Willis & Willis summons her to a reading of the woman's will.

Aunt Dimity’s Death
5By chrisathomeI loved every word! Great writing style, great story, great character development and a lesson to be taken to heart.Damaged book
1By bcatsThis book had pages that did not display and others that were only half there. Unreadable. If I could rate it zero stars I would.An enjoyable escape from reality
5By LlynHYes, at first glance it's kind of a cliche woman's book. Down on her luck Woman with dismal life gets rescued by many means. Somebody previously unknown to her dies leaves her some money and she meets a nice homey comfy prince charming. But there is more to it than that. It is well written and the story draws you along effortlessly. The plot has some amusing twists and turns. The dead leave enough clues behind to set the protagonist's mind at rest about her faults. Plus the ghost is very friendly and helps a good deal. If you need a true escape here it is. It truly is a must read of the genre. I plan on reading the whole seriesAunt Dimity's Death

5By Cygnet81It's not the deepest story I've ever read but it was one of the most enjoyable. I don't always want to buy older books because they are sometimes out of date but this story was timeless.
