I liked it, didn't love it. It's starting to bother me that Lori has such a "wandering eye" as they put it. Not as much Aunt Dimity in this one, nor any Reginald ties. Still, an ok story, leaving you wondering "who did it" right up to the end.

This wasn't my favourite of the Aunt Dimity books, but I still enjoyed it.
Lori returns to Finch from an extended visit to the U.S. to discover that the nasty new addition to the town has been murdered and while everyone in town seems to have secrets that may have some relation to the murder, nobody's talking.
When the vicar's nephew arrives for a visit, he and Lori team up to try to ferret out the truth.
Unfortunately, a large part of this book invoved a close examination of the very worst parts of small towns: gossip, selfishness, and small-mindedness, all of which are on display throughout the story.
I was also disappointed that there was very little of Aunti Dimity in this installment, and her magical conversations with Lori via the blue journal are one of the things I love about this series.
I still love the characters and the concept of this series, so I will definitely read the others, this was just not a particular favourite.

I figured this one out while reading it - kinda early on, but it was still fun.
