When dreams become reality, life is turned upside down…

Aunt Dimity’s Death is the first novel in Nancy Atherton’s delightful crime series set in the Cotswolds. Perfect for fans of M. C. Beaton and Ann Granger.


‘Atherton smoothly blends history, village life, and the otherworldly’ – Publishers Weekly

When Lori Shepherd was little she used to listen to stories of her inimitable Aunt Dimity from far-off England. Now Lori is newly divorced, down on her luck, and has long since realized her Aunt Dimity was just a character from a comforting bedtime story.

Or was she? When Lori is summoned suddenly to a law firm, she learns Aunt Dimity was a very real person – a wealthy real person who has died and left a respectable bequest. Now Lori must visit her aunt’s English cottage and find a secret hidden among the letters sent between her mother and Dimity over four decades. As Aunt Dimity’s gentle spirit leads Lori on an otherworldly quest, she is about to discover a wealth of secrets that will open her eyes to the possibilities of life, and death…

What readers are saying about Aunt Dimity’s Death:

‘This is a book that I tuck by my bed to sooth myself to sleep

‘A frothy, fun little cosy with a pleasant rural backdrop’

Absolutely one of the best heart-warming mysteries! I have read this book a couple of times since my initial discovery and it cheers my spirit every time due to its warmth and charm
