This is Book 6 of the Aunt Dimity series. Lori Sheppard is the American protagonist who inherits a fortune and a cozy Cotswold Cottage complete with Aunt Dimity’s ghost. 

In this book, Lori’s twins are 19 months old and Lori is feeling the stress of full-time motherhood. Her husband urges her to accept an offer from an old employer to assess a library of old books. When Lori sets off to Wyndhurst Hall, a severe storm forces her off the road. She is rescued by Adam Chase, a handsome young man seeking information about his family and who seems to know more than he says about the local Hall. The newlywed owners of Wyndhurst Hall, Nicole and Jarred Hollander, are committed to refurbishing the Hall including the library. Lori becomes enthralled by the Wyndhurst library. She also becomes fond of Nicole who Lori thinks is being dominated by her husband. Wyndhurst hides some secrets about its previous owners and when Lori finds a clue to a cache of letters between the beloved daughter and a brave young soldier in WWI, things get touchy. 

Once again, Lori becomes infatuated by a handsome man and skirts the edge of infidelity until Aunt Dimity steps in to point her to an interfering ghost. As they investigate the fate of the past lovers and their lost correspondence, more suspicious events occur resulting in a more immediate mystery. I have enjoyed each of the novels of this series. Although Lori tends to have an attraction come up in every book, I still like her. And even with the British literature tropes, they still entertain me for a while. Recommend to readers of cozy mysteries, paranormal events, ghosts, romance and British literature.
