Aunt Dimity and the Enchanted Cottage
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
It's early May in the small English village of Finch and the air is crackling with excitement: a newcomer is about to move into Pussywillows, a riverside cottage with a romantic reputation. Will the cottage's newest resident prove yet again its enchanting ability to matchmake? But when Crispin Windle arrives, no one knows what to make of him: seemingly a loner, he repels every welcoming gesture and appears altogether uninterested in being a part of the community. Soon, the townspeople have all but dismissed him.
Only Lori and Tommy Prescott, a young army veteran who recently moved to Finch, refuse to give up. They orchestrate a chance meeting that leads to a startling discovery: the remains of a Victorian woolen mill that once brought prosperity to Finch. But it also contains a dark secret about Finch’s past. Will Mr. Windle make himself an outcast for good by digging up Finch’s history? Or will he offer the town a chance to heal—and finally allow the town to help him heal, too?

In Atherton’s gentle 25th paranormal cozy featuring Lori Shepherd, a self-described “friend, neighbor, gossip-monger par excellence, and community volunteer,” and Lori’s confidante, the late Dimity Westwood (after 2019’s Aunt Dimity and the Heart of Gold), the residents of the Cotswolds village of Finch are all atwitter, because a mysterious man has bought Pussywillow Cottage. The house is said to be enchanted, and it’s believed that anyone who lives there is destined to find true love. Unfortunately, the new owner, Crispin Windle, a 75-year-old retired professor with an air of sadness, doesn’t live up to the locals’ expectations. Aunt Dimity, who communicates via elegantly handwritten messages penned in an old blue journal, urges Lori to offer the elderly man her friendship. This act leads to Lori’s discovery of a harrowing secret buried in Finch’s past. Those who want to escape into a world where all problems can be resolved through kindness, without the need for fisticuffs or firearms (or much crime solving), will be satisfied. Those seeking action, excitement, or a knotty puzzle should look elsewhere. Agent: Annelise Robey, Jane Rotrosen Agency.

The residents of Finch, a tiny village in the Cotswalds, are gathered for a Finch tradition--the moving-van vigil, in which locals observe new arrivals. They are soon disappointed: along come unmarked moving boxes and shabby furniture, and there's barely a glimpse of their new neighbor, bachelor Crispin Windle. Later that day, Lori Shepherd and her friend Tommy see Windle with a look of such despair on his face that they are concerned. The residents of Finch swing into action with ""Windle Watch,"" hoping to learn more while providing a steady stream of visitors bringing casseroles, books, and crafts. Meanwhile, Lori's friend Bree inadvertently passes along a bit of gossip about her soon to be uncle-in-law, Mr. Barlow, greatly angering him, and her guilt causes her to break off her engagement with Barlow's nephew. With ghostly Aunt Dimity's help, all ends happily as Lori and friends unravel the Windle mystery as he shares a tragic part of Finch's history with his new neighbors. The caring community, its quirky characters, and the warm depiction of family life will appeal to readers of Donna Andrews' Meg Langslow cozies.COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
