Nancy Atherton's twenty-second cozy mystery in the
beloved, nationally bestselling Aunt Dimity series.
It's early April in the small English village of Finch. Lori
Shepherd's husband and sons are spending Easter break
camping, and Lori is perfectly happy to be left at home with
Bess, spared a week of roughing it with a curious toddler.
The two attend a village events committee meeting and Lori
is astonished when the elderly, soft-spoken widow Mrs.
Annabelle Craven stands to make an announcement: she's
decided to hold a quilting bee in the old schoolhouse.
At the quilting bee, Lori ends up seated beside Mrs. Craven,
delighted at the opportunity to learn more about her
neighbor's life in the village of Old Cowerton. But dear,
sweet Mrs. Craven's stories reveal a startling secret about
her first husband's death.
With Aunt Dimity's advice, Lori sets out to learn the truth
about what the residents of Old Cowerton refer to as the
"widow's curse"--and the deeper she digs, the more
horrifying the tale becomes, until she discovers the most
astounding revelation of all.
