Book Description:
"A romantic tale with echoes of A. S. Byatt's Possession and enough dreamy and ghostly wish-fulfillment to satisfy readers across several genres." (Booklist

With rain crashing down on her Range Rover, as it climbs up a steep embankment on the Northumberland moors, Lori Shepherd is beginning to doubt the wisdom of her decision to evaluate a rare book collection at Wyrdhurst Hall.

The grim, neo-gothic hall that greets her upon arrival is full of surprises-including a charming, secretive stranger, and a cache of World War I letters that tell a tale of doomed love and hint at a hidden treasure. It will take all of Dimity's supernatural skills to help Lori solve the puzzle and restore peace to a family haunted by its tragic past.

One of my absolute favorite Aunt Dimity books. It really captured the essence of Lori's character and how she interacts with others. It shows how human she is and how even though she loves her family she is still capable of falling under the influence of "paranormal" entities.

Lori is in trouble again! But thankfully she has Reginald and Aunt Dimity to help her out. Very good plot, taking place in an old castle in Northumberland where Lori has gone, in the middle of a rainstorm, to check out an old book collection.

Love this series. Mostly there are no murders, just intriging mysteries.

Lori is off to Wyrdhurst Hall to evaluate some books. As usual, she runs into some surprises, some pleasant and some not, and of course, there's always a handsome man to tempt her.
