Aunt Dimity Beats the Devil

Nancy Atherton is beloved for her cozy mysteries featuring endearing characters who seem like close friends. In Aunt Dimity Beats the Devil, she crafts a modern ghost story enriched with an engrossing tale of deeply buried family secrets. When Lori Shepherd journeys to northern England's Wyrdhurst Hall to evaluate a rare book collection, she falls under the spell of the old building. As she digs through the volumes, Lori unearths a story of forbidden passion during World War I that may explain the not-so-friendly spirit who seemingly haunts Wyrdhurst. But Lori also has a ghost on her side-Aunt Dimity-who is always available for guidance and comfort. With plenty of romance, an abundance of intrigue, and a few good scares, Atherton weaves the sort of delightful tale her fans adore. Narrator Christina Moore captures both the spooks and joys of this warm novel.
