 The Aunt Dimity books are one of my favorite cozy series. Though, honestly, I fell in love with them by reading the most recent books first. Then I moved backward through the series for a few books, and then I read book one. Now I’m slowly catching up to where I left off when I was reading them backwards. Anyway, I say all this, because I enjoyed the more recent books much more than these first few. There are some tropes the author visits repeatedly in the first few books that get tiresome after a while. But I still loved being in Finch and hanging out with Lori Shepherd and hearing Aunt Dimity’s wisdom throughout this book. I would say if you've tried this series and put it down after a few books, then try reading Aunt Dimity and The Heart of Gold, that’s my favorite one, plus it’s a Christmas novel, which is always fun.
