I haven't gotten that far in the series yet, I'm only to Snowbound #9. But, you made me curious so I checked our Amazon and this is what was said: It sounds like Bill is the one getting the threats and he sends Lori and the boys to a "safe haven".
From this I'd say it get back to cozy. I hope so because I'm with you L. R. I want this series to be "nice".
From Publishers Weekly
Atherton delivers another cheerful cuppa cozy, her 11th to feature U.S. ex-pat Lori Shepherd (after 2005's Aunt Dimity and the Next of Kin), who lives with her attorney husband, Bill Willis, and their cricket-playing twin sons, Will and Rob, in the Cotswolds. When Bill begins receiving e-mail death threats from a stalker who signs his revenge-obsessed dispatches "Abaddon" (from the Book of Revelations), Lori, the twins and Reginald (Lori's pink rabbit toy) retreat to the scenic Scottish isle of Erinskil, where they stay as the guests of one of Bill's clients, jovial Sir Percy Pelham, at Dundrillin Castle. The ideal refuge, however, soon becomes a hotbed for intrigue, and Lori's forced to depend more on her own instincts than the advice of the ghostly Aunt Dimity, who communicates through journal entries, to protect her sons' lives as well as her own.

From Booklist
The eleventh Aunt Dimity mystery is testament to the staying power of Atherton's cozier-than-cozy premise: American Lori Shepherd, who lives in an idyllic Midlands cottage with her five-year-old twins and doting husband, communicates with Aunt Dimity, a deceased friend who speaks through a mysterious journal. When Lori stumbles upon a mystery, Aunt Dimity is Holmes to her Watson. This time husband Bill begins receiving death threats, and Lori and the twins are sent to an island off the coast of Scotland, where Lori becomes intrigued by how the islanders afford their affluent lifestyles. Aunt Dimity kibitzes as required. Jenny McLarin
