Aunt Dimity & the Family Tree / Nancy Atherton / 229 pages

For those of you who like cozy mysteries, you can't go wrong with the Aunt Dimity books. There look to be about 16 titles in the series now. All of the stories are centered around Lori Willis, transplanted American who lives in the tiny English village of Finch with her lawyer husband and rambunctious twins. Her mentor, Aunt Dimity, is a long-deceased friend of her mother who communicates with Lori via a journal. The mysteries are mild. It's the characters of the village and the village life that are so enchanting. If there is such a thing as a feel good mystery, then these qualify!
