Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The original paranormal detective returns in the latest installment of a beloved mystery series

Lori Shepherd’s life in England couldn’t be more tranquil or more satisfying— except for one thing. Her five- year-old twins have started school, and Lori fears they’ll catch everything from the flu to fleas. What they do come home with, however, is worse: a report of a pale, cloaked figure with bloodstained lips lurking in the woods.

Lori is skeptical at first but soon grows concerned enough to consult with her late (but not entirely departed) Aunt Dimity and her dear friend Kit Smith. The vampire-hunting trail leads to Leo, a charismatic vagabond who just returned to England after a self-imposed exile, a bitter old crone named Lizzie Black, and finally to Aldercot Hall, where a mysterious murder took place forty years ago. With Kit and Aunt Dimity’s help, Lori uncovers the secret that will shock everyone—including herself—about the true identity of the twins’ vampire.

With its placid English countryside setting, eccentric characters, and lighthearted charm, Atherton’s newest novel will enchant cozy mystery aficionados and the many loyal readers of the Aunt Dimity series.

Rating: - Frothy, cozy and undead
The titular Aunt Dimity may be technically undead (a sort of resident ghostie) but that's no preparation for an encounter with a vampire.

Well, unsurprisingly there's something of a problem with that in "Aunt Dimity: Vampire Hunter," the thirteenth volume of the cozy, endearingly offbeat mystery series. The actual mystery is scattered all over the board in bits and pieces, but the romantic troubles, warm comedic moments, and cozy English-countryside atmosphere really make this little mystery ...

Rating: - i love the series but....
kit is too old for nell.
nell is not given a personality, has she ever even spoken to lori for more than 1 minute? there is no depth to this character. all we know is that she is breathtakingly beautiful. that's not enough.
lori barely spends any time with her beloved twins, leaving the child rearing to the exhausted nanny whilst she traipses around the english countryside trying to validate her existence.
other than those minor quibbles, i do love the series, love the premise, and love ... Read More
