Get Cozy with A Cozy Mystery!

2/8/2014

Looking for a fun, light read full of twists and turns? Want a book where violence isn’t what the story revolves around? And involves a helping hand from the ghostly realms?

Then check out an Aunt Dimity cozy mystery by Nancy Atherton.

In this series of books, Lori Sheperd, along with the support of her bunny Reginald and the help of her dead friend Dimity, solves mysteries in the Cotswolds of England.

In Aunt Dimity Snowbound, Lori is stranded by ghastly weather in an empty Gothic mansion with three strangers, including the cantankerous caretaker of Ladythorne Abbey who continues to love the dead Lucasta, a madwoman and past mistress of the mansion.

Nothing is quite as it seems as Lori seeks to find out the reasons for Lucasta’s madness and stumbles upon other dark secrets held in the deep recesses of Ladythorne Abbey.
