From Booklist Everyone turns out for a funeral in the Cotswold community of Finch, where American expat Lori Shepherd has settled with her family, even if it’s a cold, rainy day in May, and even if it’s the village recluse being buried. But the good folk of Finch are not expecting Jack MacBride, the young, handsome nephew of the deceased, to arrive at the last moment, straight from Heathrow and still wearing clothes more appropriate to the Australian outback. Jack intends to settle his uncle’s affairs, including getting the house, with its long-neglected garden, in order. When Lori and the others help Jack discover a wishing well in the underbrush, and Lori jokingly makes a wish that the rain would stop, the next day dawns sunny. Others sneak in to make wishes, which also come true. As fans of the Aunt Dimity stories know, there are regular magical occurrences in Finch. Aunt Dimity, though deceased, regularly speaks to Lori through a magic journal, and she does so again, helping Lori understand the true nature of the legacy Jack has received, along with the true purpose of the fulfilled wishes. --Karen Muller

I've read all the Aunt Dimity books and have enjoyed them, but I find I'm getting really annoyed with Lori's sole purpose of being apparently to serve as "gossip central" for Finch. The writing seems to be getting more and more simplistic with each book, and the characterizations more and more flimsy. I love gentle English village stories (a la the Miss Read books), but I seem to be losing my taste for these. Still, I hate to give up on a series I've read for years so I'll probably still continue to return to Finch, at least for a while.

Lori Shepherd moved from the U.S. when she inherited a sizable estate-after she discovered the secret hidden in a treasure trove of letters in Dimity's English country cottage. She now lives there with her husband Bill and their two sons. She now communicates with her "Aunt Dimity" in a very special way.In this 19th installment Australian Jack MacBride comes to Finch to settle his uncle's estate. When he arrives he find his uncle's property in need of attention. Lori volunteers to help him. While clearing the garden they find a hidden well. Lori laughingly tosses a coin into the garden's old well and makes a wish, she is baffled to find that the wish seems to have come true. Word travels fast in this little town and soon Jack has several visitors wanting to make wishes of their own. More and more wishes start to come true and with Aunt Dimity's help Lori tries to find out what is really going on. What she discovers is that the truth is even more marvelous than a magical wishing well.Dollycas's ThoughtsWhat a breathe of fresh air!! This book is the perfect Springtime read. It is a true English mystery without any dead bodies or murderers running about. Just a mystery of a wishing well and a stranger in town. This author's work has been called "adult fairy tales" and that describes them perfectly.Who wouldn't love a wishing well that actually granted wishes? The problem is one person's wish can really mess up another person's wish or their life. Some of the wishes of the residents of Finch are really causing trouble. Thankfully Lori is on the case. She needs to solve the mystery before there is an actual murder in this quaint little village.I haven't read an Aunt Dimity story in years and when I was asked to review this one I jumped right back in and was so happy I said "YES!". This story reads well as a stand alone too. I wasn't lost at all. Aunt Dimity was a friend of Lori's mother and her ghost lives on in her home and has an interesting way to communicate with Lori. That's all you need to know to enjoy these wonderful stories.Whether this is your first Aunt Dimity story or you have read them all or like me you fall somewhere in between, you will love this story. This series is a cozy lover's favorite for a very good reason. I think we all wish we had an Aunt Dimity.

Some Books in This Series Are Better Than Others By Nancy If it was not for the previous eighteen books, there is no way that you would recognized all the names and faces at Hector Huggins’s funeral. A myriad of names are thrown at the reader and even I, being a long time reader of the series, had to stop and put back stories to them all.Rolling up to Hector’s funeral is his beloved nephew Jack MacBride, fresh from the Australian outback and here in Finch to sort out Hector’s final affairs. Namely, the disposition of Hector’s home, Ivy Cottage. During renovations, a wishing well is discovered on the property and when Lori speaks into the wishing well for the rain to cease and her wish comes true, the villagers cannot get to the well fast enough to speak their desires.Finch being Finch means that there will be no end to the chaos that ensues when wishes are suddenly granted, but Lori with the help of Aunt Dimity, starts to become suspicious. Who is the puppet master behind the granting of the wishes? There are too many coincidences for this to be anything other than planned.Was it me, or was Lori being overly whiney in this book. Who is bedridden merely by having their thumb whacked by a hammer – unable to participate in the simplest of things because her thumb is trussed up like a mummy? Grated, a second wish of Lori’s was a surprise at the end, but that does not explain why she was completely incapacitated.The final chapters in the book were very good, almost as if someone else had written them. Throughout most of the book, the repetitiveness was burdensome. At times, I would have sworn full sentences and ideas were repeated. Then suddenly at the end, the ideas and structure were clear and straightforward. The epilogue tied the book together completely without having the reader once again rolling their eyes over facts that had been previously gnawed to death.This is one of my favorite series. Some books are much better than others and the reader has to be patient. The folks from Finch are wonderful even if the gossip vine travels faster than the speed of light; they do have your best interest in mind even if they are too wrapped up in their own lives to bring Lori a casserole when she has whacked her thumb.
