Detective by Nancy Atherton

Another quick, easy read following the same pattern as the others I've read. Not terrific, but a decent distraction.

This one had a slow start and really was a little silly, but I liked the cozy feel of Finch. Not great, not terrible. Hoping the next book is better, but this one wasn't a waste of time.

I find Nancy Atherton’s Aunt Dimity books wholly charming. This one did not disappoint. I enjoyed learning more personal history of the residents of Finch. And I appreciate knowing when I open a Dimity book that I will close it with a happy sigh knowing everything has been tied up and resolved. I would not call it a moving work of literature, but it is an engaging, enjoyable, and generally lighthearted story.

Upon her return from a family vacation in the states, Lori finds out that one of citizens of her beloved Finch has committed murder. Who exactly did it no one knows, but when suspicion falls upon her friend Kit, Lori decides to get involved. 

Yet again Lori finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and feeling drawn to a man distinctly not her own husband. 

I thought this book was very funny & I was glad to spend more time with the citizens of Finch.

An actual murder in the village. Lori and the vicar' s nephew are on the case. Minimal Dimity.

Lori being the most absolute selfish ass someone could be. Like, wow. He said to stop. No inner reflection at all, just self-obsession.

I might have one more in the series to reread, and then all my copies are going to the donation pile.

Fun and silly again, but a good read.

Reread of another old favorite - the Lori's neighbors are not interesting in solving the death of the most disagreeable woman in Finch, but Lori and the vicar's nephew won't let it go unsolved.
