Aunt Dimity and the Duke (Nancy Atherton)

Summary:
Emma is a gardener extraordinaire. She leaves her home in the States to explore gardens in England after her long-term boyfriend not only leaves her, but goes and gets married. Emma stumbles upon friends of Aunt Dimity, and gets sent to see the gardens at a private manor. At the same time, Derek, a widower with two very precocious children, is asked to help at the same manor, fixing a beautiful stained glass window.

The two of them stumble upon a mystery and work together to discover the real truth.

Thoughts:
Just as good as Aunt Dimity's Death. Aunt Dimity only makes a brief appearance in a flashback/memory. It seems like Dimity only shows herself through others' love for her. They are fun and intriguing books. The writing is great as well. I'll be continuing down the line through Dimity's other adventures.

Pages: 290
Genre: Mystery, romance
Grade: A
Would I Recommend?: Absolutely.

20 down, 30 to go!
