Lori Shepherd and the phantom Aunt Dimity have become one of the mystery genre’s most celebrated detective duos. 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.

On a dark and stormy night in late October, she sets out for Wyrdhurst Hall, the grim neo-Gothic castle owned by newlyweds Nicole and Jared Hollander. On the way there she encounters Adam Chase, a charming, handsome stranger who knows more than he's telling about the hall's mysterious secrets....

Nancy Atherton ’s Aunt Dimity novels have enchanted thousands of readers, and this new addition to the series is likely to broaden the spell. A series of death threats sends Lori Shepard to a remote island off the Scottish coast and to a fabulous castle restored by an eccentric friend of her husband’s. But she finds herself drawn into an elaborate whodunit that may involve smuggling - or worse. Why has a human skull washed up on the beach? Is a desolate island really the best place to hide from a murderer? As Lori draws once more on Aunt Dimity’s supernatural aid, Atherton whips equal measures of whimsy and suspense into an irresistible confection.

It was the object that mesmerized the sweet but very poor nine-year-old Daisy Pickering at Sproggton Manor, the bizarre Jacobean house-turned-museum Lori recently visited with her twin sons. Hoping to avoid any real commotion, Lori decides to speak with the museum curator, who turns out to be oddly uninterested in the theft. But there’s not much that could be done anyway for the Pickerings seem to have come into some money and moved to Australia.

Narration Ruined This One For Me
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Definitely change the narrator.
Would you recommend Aunt Dimity Takes a Holiday to your friends? Why or why not?
I would recommend reading the book, not listening to it. I enjoy this series because it's a light read with interesting story line.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Teri Clark Linden?
I really don't know narrator's names so I cannot suggest an alternative but Ms. Linden "performs" as if the listener was a child. Everything she reads is very clearly enunciated and slow. It's hard for me to listen to the story since she is so distracting.
Did Aunt Dimity Takes a Holiday inspire you to do anything?
No
Any additional comments?
I wish I had not purchased this audio book and just read it instead.

The Reader is TERRIBBLE!!!! I couldn't finish it!
WHY would they hire a reader liike this and why would the Author allow It? I would buy every book in this series if it wasn't for the reader!!! So Dissapointed! The original reader, Christina Moore was great. Get her back and re-record these books and I will be the first in line to buy the series!

Won't buy anymore Audible of this series
Would you try another book from Nancy Atherton and/or Teri Clark Linden?
No. Teri Clark Linden is one of the most frustrating narrators I've listened to. She reads with over-precision in her diction. I can't help but imagine some of my favorite characters moving around like robots. These characters are far too casual in their speech patterns to have every vowel and consonant pronounced as if Teri recently learned to read.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love both Lori and Bill. And who can resist Aunt Dimity?
What didn’t you like about Teri Clark Linden’s performance?
No acting skills at all. Perhaps I'm spoiled by narrators who actually perform rather than merely read. Ack. I'm not sure I can finish this. It's far too stilted in the delivery.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment.
