When a world famous artist comes to Finch using a pseudonym,
Lori is intrigued. Lori appears on the front doorstep the
next morning and learns that Amelia is on a quest. Amelia
Thistle is the artist's proper name since she married. The
names she uses for her paintings is a nickname paired with
her maiden name.
The artist comes with a bunch of fanatics who follow her
around everywhere. Her reason for coming to Finch is to
track down an ancestor. Shortly before arriving in Finch,
Amelia's brother passed away. She found his translation of
an old diary which has a clue to the identity of a witch who
once lived in the area. Amelia is determined to solve her
bother's final quest.
As always, it is impossible to keep Lori out of the hunt for
the clues.
Ms. Atherton returns us to the village of Finch and the
lives of its inhabitants. Reading an Aunt Dimity books is
much like returning to a childhood home. We are familiar
with the people who live in Finch and all their foibles.
Bill and Lori are a lovely couple with a set of twin boys
who keep them on their toes.
AUNT DIMITY AND THE VILLAGE WITCH is the first of the Aunt
Dimity series which doesn't
feature a murder. It is an interesting quest which keeps
the readers glued to the page. Since Finch has its share of
quirky characters, it's always a pleasure sitting down with
one of the books and getting re-acquainted. With the
addition of Amelia Thistle and her followers, Finch is
momentarily even more exciting than usual. Fans of the Aunt
Dimity series won't want to miss this installment. If you
haven't read Aunt Dimity, be sure to pick one up.
Last year, the otherworldly sleuth's devoted fans secured a
place on the New York Times bestseller list for Nancy
Atherton's Aunt Dimity and the Family Tree. Now Lori and
Aunt Dimity are back on the list—and this time, they're on
a witch-hunt.
At first glance, the unassuming Mrs. Amelia Thistle is
a disappointment to the villagers of Finch, but Lori
Shepherd isn't fooled by the new arrival's bland persona.
Amelia is a world-famous artist, traveling incognito, and,
after unearthing a fragment of a family diary hinting that
Mistress Meg, the Mad Witch of Finch, might be one of her
ancestors, she's come to Finch in search of the truth.
