Aunt Dimity and the Widow's Curse

Nancy Atherton´s twenty-second cozy mystery in the beloved, nationally bestselling Aunt Dimity series. It´s early April in the small English village of Finch. Lori Shepherd´s husband and sons are spending Easter break camping, and Lori is perfectly happy to be left at home with Bess, spared a week of roughing it with a curious toddler. The two attend a village events committee meeting and Lori is astonished when the elderly, soft-spoken widow Mrs. Annabelle Craven stands to make an announcement: she´s decided to hold a quilting bee in the old schoolhouse. At the quilting bee, Lori ends up seated beside Mrs. Craven, delighted at the opportunity to learn more about her neighbor´s life in the village of Old Cowerton. But dear, sweet Mrs. Craven´s stories reveal a startling secret about her first husband´s death. With Aunt Dimity´s advice, Lori sets out to learn the truth about what the residents of Old Cowerton refer to as the "widow´s curse"--and the deeper she digs, the more horrifying the tale becomes, until she discovers the most astounding revelation of all.
