Aunt Dimity Snowbound by Nancy Atherton

Aunt Dimity Snowbound by Nancy Atherton

Lori Shepherd and the phantom Aunt Dimity have become one of the mystery genre's most celebrated detective duos. Watch out for Nancy Atherton's latest, Aunt Dimity and the King's Ransom, coming in July 2018 from Viking

In their latest adventure, a pleasant woodland stroll through the English countryside is rudely cut short by the blizzard of the century, forcing Lori to take shelter in Ladythorne Abbey--an old pile still haunted by the presence of the madwoman whose prison it once was. But the abbey's greatest secret is the priceless jewel it conceals somewhere within its cloisters--an heirloom that hides a treacherous past that Lori's fellow guests can't wait to get their hands on. Only Aunt Dimity's indispensable wisdom can help Lori unravel a mystery that is considerably thicker than the accumulating snow in this page-turning treat.

The Aunt Dimity mysteries are written by Nancy Atherton, who is a bestselling author. The Independent Mystery Booksellers Association named the first book in the series, Aunt Dimity's Death, as one of the Century's 100 Favorite Mysteries. She currently resides in Colorado Springs.
