Aunt Dimity Slays the Dragon (Aunt Dimity Mystery)

The entire Aunt Dimity series is amazing. I finish one and download the next to my Kindle. Half way thru the 21 book series and wish there were more. GREAT reading. Never a slow chapter or page in the books.

I love the relationship between Lori and Bill and you can't help but wanting to know more and more about aunt Dimity's story. I really recommend this book to anyone that loves a good romantic story with plenty of mystery to go around.

Seriously. I've read a heap of cozies, and given several an honest 5 stars. Compared to all of those, this one stands a solid 10 without exaggeration. Splendid mysteries, splendid humor, splendid compassion, extraordinary character development.

Aunt Dimity is really getting around! There were too many rabbit holes here and I was ready to give it a sigh of relief several times - NO, THAT'S NOT IT! Aunt Dimity did not belong here and I did not like this book.

This series is just delightful. They are not ANYTHING like a Stephen King book (his are brilliant, but they scare me so much - I can't even begin to read another one). They are maybe similar to comparing witch tales to Wizard of OZ. Aunt Dimity is like someone's "Aunt Bee." They do NOT dwell really at all in the spirital, ghostly aspect.
Start with the 1st - "Aunt Dimity's Death" and I promise that you will come back for more.

Nancy Atherton is one of my all time favorite writers. This is a consuming story and held my attention all the way through the book. Aunt Dimity's recipes are an enjoyable touch as well. Nancy's books are always lighthearted stories without giving away the resolution before the actual end of the stories. I think you will enjoy this book as well.

Again, I had a great time visiting the countryside of England, vicariously touring, hiking and dining....It is over 90 degrees where I live just as I am reading this book and I am enjoying the wet, the cool and the teas that go with English life....the story was good, too! Delightful and touching, this story was one of my favorites so far....the last one in my library, I ordered the remaining 8 last night! Aunt Dimity, where are you?????

Nancy Atherton has again created that warm, fireside and hot chocolate feeling with this installment of the Aunt Dimity series. Sometimes you want a book that you can sit and enjoy and that will shield you from the constant media bombardment of the worst side of human nature. This is that book. This time, the subject is a personal crusade to notify an estranged brother of the death of a sibling. While on the surface it doesn't sound like much of a story, when you get into it, it becomes a study on how people you may not know very well can greatly affect your life. This is positive essay on the generosity of the human spirit told through the eyes of the ethereal Aunt Dimity's prime cohort Lori Shepherd. All the characters inhabiting the village of Finch are present, though in lesser roles. We are introduced to a new set of acquaintances every bit as engaging as the usually gallery. As an additional plus, it is the kind of book that helps to restore this jaded reader's faith in human nature. Is it "War and Peace?" No, it's better. You can actually get through this one!

A fun story with a whole different perspective. The mystery of the "gold or no gold" was fascinating. Actually, it was the second time I have read this particular book. I bought it at the airport when I was traveling a couple of years ago. I enjoyed the second reading as much as the first.

I have been waiting (and waiting) for this to come out on Kindle. I have all of Aunt Dimity's books on Kindle and re-read them often, when I need something light-hearted and romantic! Thankfully, the first one is now available. I was not disappointed! Thank you for putting it on the Kindle option!

Lori leaves Finch! I missed the small English village and all the atmosphere that comes with it and it's characters. The story was fun though and full of surprises. Lori can never truly get away from a mystery!

Love all the Aunt Dimity books... good stories that take your mind away from everyday life for a while. You are always waiting for the book to end so you can see how she figures things out, but hating it to end at the same time, cause once it's over.. you are looking for the next book

All the Aunt Dimity books are great, but Nancy Atherton really outdid herself with the story in this one. Romance, adventure, wonderful characters and an obnoxious pop star, and you won't guess...well there are several things you won't guess. One of her best.

I became an instant fan with the first Aunt Dimity book. I hated to put the book down and hated even more when I reached the end of the book. These people feel like best friends! Thanks Nancy Atherton for keeping the characters alive with each new book! I am on my third one and am extremely grateful you are continuing to write more! May you live forever!

I discovered Aunt Dimity several years back and bought many of the books. When I got my Kindle, I started replacing the (well-read & well-worn) paperbacks.

These stories are always fun and interesting - I've re-read most of them and they are my 'go-to' stories for a good bedtime wind-down.

Since I've discovered Aunt Dimity and here wonderful stories, I've been reading them like potato chips . . .can't stop at just one. Snowbound fits that bill . . .Just plain fun to read, a great break for a few hours. And another stop on the Aunt Dimity journey. Enjoy it.

I adore love throw in quite a few more adjectives for this pleasant surprise of a book. I couldn't get enough read it in one sitting cannot wait to read the rest of them!!!! Highly recommend to any other cozy mystery addicts or anyone new to the genre

The characters in Nancy Atherton's books are charming. Even the bad guys don't end up being so bad. Good always wins and all is resolved in the end. This series is just an enjoyable read. It is nice light entertainment.

Loved "Vampire Hunter". It had a fun mystery and a lovely ending. Lori's paranoia over her sons, makes me feel a lot less paranoid in my own life. No sense in looking for trouble. It will find you.

My favorite Aunt Dimity book. The prequel explains how frumpy and 40 Emma meets the man of her dreams while trying to solve the mysterious death of an obnoxious rock star. Charming characters make this a great read with a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits beside the fireplace or tucked up cosy in bed.

The Aunt Dimity series is made up of great, light reads that are really fun. No heavy thinking here; just an enjoyable, lighthearted book. As I was reading this one, though, I kept expecting Lori to appear, but she didn't. I really think this book should go before Aunt Dimity's Death, not after. At any rate, it was still a very enjoyable read, and I recommend it.

I just finished reading AUNT DIMITY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA. I have read all her previous books which I thought were very good, some better than others. DEEP BLUE SEA is her BEST yet!

I loved it! It caught my attention on the very first page, and would not turn me loose until the very end. Please, someone tell Nancy Atherton to keep it up! Please keep us supplied with more of your constantly improving writing about Aunt Dimity and her friends! Thanks!
