I've actually read most of the series at this point but thought I would post my review to the first of the series. This is a 'cozy' mystery series- light and entertaining and the kind you curl up with before falling asleep. Our main character might be Aunt Dimity (or perhaps it would be more accurate to say her ghost) but really the focus tends to be on Lori Shepherd whose mother was best friends with Aunt Dimity. Lori tends to stumble into puzzles and, while tenacious in her efforts to figure things out, Aunt Dimity is there to advise and guide along with Reginald the stuffed rabbit, husband Bill and a solid cast of friends which expands with each book.

Once you've read this first book, the rest are capable of standing alone and you are not required to read in a particular order to enjoy them. 1 part mystery, 1 part light romance and 1 part gentle humor= an Aunt Dimity book.
