What readers say
A gentle, feel-good series set in an English village, where Lori gets advice from the ghost of Aunt Dimity through writing that appears in a blue journal. Readers love its warmth, humor, charming villagers and low-stakes mysteries, and many treat it as pure comfort reading. Common criticisms are a sometimes whiny heroine, light mysteries with little tension, large casts, and dated attitudes and language in the early books, which more recent reviewers point out.
Best for: Readers who want very gentle, cozy English village stories with a touch of the supernatural.
