The next page-turning installment in the phantom-detective mystery series that has won the hearts of cozy mystery fans everywhere.

There she meets Elizabeth Beacham, a kind, retired legal secretary with no family, except a brother who has mysteriously disappeared. But after only a few visits, Miss Beacham suddenly passes away, leaving Lori to tie up the loose ends of her late friend’s life. Lori soon discovers that hidden among Miss Beacham’s belongings are clues that Lori believes her friend left for her to discover. Armed with the generous help of a handsome neighbor and, as always, Aunt Dimity’s supernatural skills, Lori begins to unearth Miss Beacham’s secrets and, ultimately, the surprising truth about her next of kin.

Aunt Dimity & the next of kin

I enjoyed this book in the Aunt Dimity series, the title is a bit deceiving, great storyline. I enjoyed the plot twist. I just love these Aunt Dimity stories and would recommend them. I have even gotten used to the narrator.

Odd narration

Another gentle, pleasant mystery from Nancy Atherton. However, this narration is just very odd. Overly articulated, and slow with every “a” pronounced with a long “a” sound. Annoying. However,her character voices were fine with creativity and energy. Very puzzling approach. I stuck it out because I wanted to find how tale ended. But I won’t listen to another book with this narrator.

Heartwarming

This is the best book in the series. I like this quieter Lori, and was surprised in many places as the story unfolded. Love Aunt Smith more each book.

Absolutely dreadful narration

What disappointed you about Aunt Dimity and the Next of Kin?

I made it to chapter 2 and could no longer listen to the primary school standard of reading, My 6 year old grand daughter can read aloud more intelligently. Can't really comment on the bit of story I listened to but seems a bit bland.
