Aunt Dimity and the Heart of Gold: Aunt Dimity Mystery Series, Book 24
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
It's almost Christmas in the small English village of Finch—and everyone is sick. Although many of the villagers regretfully decline their invitations to Emma and Derek Harris's annual Christmas bash, Lori Shepherd has no intention of missing it. When the winter weather takes a turn for the worse, it's agreed that none of the guests will leave until morning. There's general merriment as the Christmas party becomes a pajama party—until a car appears in the winding driveway and promptly slides off the slick pavement and into a tree. Matilda Tilly Trout—a lost and scatterbrained middle-aged woman—is mercifully unhurt and invited to stay the night. The next morning, Emma asks her guests if they would like a tour of the Manor—including a secret room she recently discovered. Several guests put forth guesses as to its purpose, but it's Tilly who correctly identifies the room as a chapel. Placing a palm on one of the ornately carved panels, Tilly finds a hidden compartment concealing a pile of glittering treasure—including an exquisitely decorated heart made of solid gold. Where did it come from, and why does it look so different from everything else in the chapel? Why didn't Emma even know about this hidden compartment in her own home until now—and how did Tilly?

Although many of the villagers regretfully decline their invitations to Emma and Derek Harris's annual Christmas bash, Lori Shepherd has no intention of missing it. When the winter weather takes a turn for the worse, it's agreed that none of the guests will leave until morning. There's general merriment as the Christmas party becomes a pajama party—until a car appears in the winding driveway and promptly slides off the slick pavement and into a tree. Matilda Tilly Trout—a lost and scatterbrained middle-aged woman—is mercifully unhurt and invited to stay the night.

Several guests put forth guesses as to its purpose, but it's Tilly who correctly identifies the room as a chapel. Placing a palm on one of the ornately carved panels, Tilly finds a hidden compartment concealing a pile of glittering treasure—including an exquisitely decorated heart made of solid gold. Where did it come from, and why does it look so different from everything else in the chapel? Why didn't Emma even know about this hidden compartment in her own home until now—and how did Tilly?

Set during the holiday season, Atherton’s sweet, predictable 24th paranormal cozy (after 2018’s Aunt Dimity and the King’s Ransom) finds American expat Lori Shepherd spared the virus that afflicts most others living in the Cotswolds village of Finch. Spared also is Lori’s best friend, Emma Harris, who proceeds as planned with her annual Christmas party at Anscombe Manor. Bad weather, however, ensures that everyone at the party stays overnight, including an unexpected guest, Tilly Trout, who knows a lot about architecture, religion, and British history. When Emma gives her guests a tour of the manor, it is Tilly who identifies an unusual room as a former chapel—and knows to press a panel that slides back to reveal a compartment filled with treasure, including a solid gold heart. Atherton keeps the suspense high as Lori and Emma, aided by the ghostly Aunt Dimity, set out to solve the decades-old mystery of the treasure. Series fans and newcomers alike will enjoy spending time in Finch with its endearing residents, earthly and otherwise. Agent: Annelise Robey, Jane Rotrosen Agency.
