Rating: Summary: Please read this book on a rainy afternoon Review: The beauty of the Dimity series is watching the characters development from book to book. Reading this books feels like a visit with your dearest friend that you only get to see once a year. You can pick right up where you left off without skipping a beat.If you read this one first the earlier books will loose a little something but please do read them all!
Rating: Summary: adictive reading Review: What a wonderful book! Of course, I liked the entire series ... but I have to say I loved this one the best. A real page - turner, without being horrific. Atherton's charectors are charming and true; you want to spend time with them! Fantasy, mystery, and storytelling are intertwined seemlessly. One of Atherton's finest!
Rating: Summary: 5 Stars? Review: While I do adimt that the characters are very well developed and it is a nice change of pace to not have fifteen people murdered in a mystery, let's face the facts. This book is not any good. The first two in the series were fairly good and held my attention well, but I had to struggle to get halfway through this one. I read a 250-300 page book in about three to four days, as I am a student. It took me over a week to read this one, and I only got halfway through. Being an avid mystery lover of all kinds, I can never wait until the end to find out "whodunit." This book, however, was no trouble at all to put down and not pick back up again. I did not know who had committed the burglary, and, quite frankly, I didn't really care. If you read any books by authors such as Lilian Jackson Braun, Mary Higgins Clark, Rita Mae Brown, Anne George, or, for that matter, ANY mystery author at all, do not be fooled as I was by this book. You will not enjoy it!
