Sometimes, all one needs is an adorably-written lighthearted mystery that sweeps you away to a tiny English village where everyone gets into everyone else's business.
I was introduced to this series at book #20, Aunt Dimity and the Summer King, and instantly fell in love. Reading this second novel in the series (which is book #21) allows me to feel as if I'm a member of this small cluster of people with all their unique quirkiness. Added to this community are newcomers James and Felicity Hobson. Their arrival to Finch has the regulars in a tizzy. Before they even know who the Hobsons are and what they do, the people of Finch are determined that there's an issue that needs to be taken care of IMMEDIATELY.
Enter Lori and her adorable baby, Bess, and she easily has a way to enter the Hobson's residence to find out who they are and what they're up to. What Lori doesn't expect is how one simple, friendly visit turns into an even bigger mystery involving her Aunt Dimity, a possibly stolen artifact, and unrequited love.
As I already mentioned, I love this series. It's lighthearted, the mysteries aren't scary, and everything usually works out well for everyone in the end. If you want a feel-good book to help you escape your life for a while, then this series is just for you and I highly recommend it.
