Aunt Dimity & the Village Witch / Nancy Atherton / 232 pages

A cozy Cotswold village mystery.  Atherton has a long series featuring Lori Shepherd and her Aunt Dimity who is actually a ghost.  These stories which take place in the quaint village of Finch are full of characters who could be your neighbors, family & friends.  The stories are full of love and friendship with some pretty tame mysteries and just a hint of danger.  Thanks to Cindy B for recommending the series years ago.  It's what you want to read when you need something comfortable like an old slipper.
