Search - Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea (Aunt Dimity, Bk 11)

I can not get enough of this series. I adore the characters, I adore the settings and I adore the fallibility and the deep caring that binds Lori Shepherd to her friends and family.

Lori’s rather calm life is suddenly turned upside down when death threats hit home and her and the lives of her twin 5 year old sons are threatened. Bill calls in a trusted family friend, Sir Percy Pelham and his gigantic helicopter to whiz them away while Bill stays home going through old files to see who is holding a grudge.

But life can’t be that simple for Lori, after arriving at Percy’s castle on an island off of Scotland, she begins to notice things that just do not make sense. Like why do simple sheep ranchers need satellite dishes and gourmet food in the market? What are these villagers up to and can Lori figure it out, before jumping to too many conclusions, before the true danger arrives.

Peter a character from previous books makes reappearance and it’s nice to see what he has been up to. I highly recommend this series - it’s a great breakaway from the heavier stuff in our TBR’s.

A great Aunt Dimity book. Set in Scotland, Nancy Atherton has done a wonderful job of showing Lori's belief that everyone is fundamentally good and that good will triumph over evil. In the end, when evil seems to be winning, Lori steps in to show what happens to those who disturb a Momma bear's cubs. If you like this series, I recommend reading "Deep Blue Sea" before reading "Goes West" as this one sets up the other.

This was another wonderful adventure story. I really enjoy this seris of books.
Laura and here children are once again on an adventure with Aunt Dimity and reginal in tow. It is a wonderful mistery that shows a mothers love will stand against anything for the protection of her children.

It's been a while since I read a cozy mystery, and I guess you have to suspend a lot of things you know about reality to really enjoy it. Maybe because I have dealt (more or less indirectly) with crime and serial killers in my previous profession, I don't find stalkers and cold-blooded killers, and for that matter, death, that amusing. I didn't find her portrayal of the characters very deep or very realistic, and as for characters who own private islands off the coast of Scotland, forget it!

Anything Atherton Writes makes my day. This book of all of them was the most action-packed so far.

When Bill's life in threatened, Lori and the twins head for Scottland. Here she gets knee deep in a mystery.

Very good book in this wonderful series....can't wait for the next book in this series.
