That's where the main story line goes until the very end of the book. Then it's over and done with so fast with a few more chapters of rehashing so the reader gets the details. Not my favorite, but the recipe looks interesting. (  ) AdorableArlene | Oct 1, 2009 |  Involves an interesting diversionary tactic, where we spend the first 15 pages determining that the heroine is being packed off to a remote island since a killer has targeted her, the next 300 learning interesting things and solving mysteries about the island, and the last ten actually dealing with the killer. But I suppose if you buy into the idea of a ghost sleuth, you ought to be totally down with ancient castles, ruined monasteries, secret passages, and buried treasure, and if you are, you'll enjoy this one. Love the characterization, especially of the bodyguards, but of course the plot of the story necessarily reads more like Rider Haggard than a solid mystery. For much the same reasons the answer to the mystery of the island didn't ring particularly true. But I liked it well enough. (  ) benfulton | Jan 13, 2008 | This is the first of the Aunt Dimity series that I have read, and I would like to backtrack and perhaps read the first in the series to find out more about the setup. It's well explained in the story but it would be nice to expand on it. In this story Lori's husband Bill is getting death threats, not only about himself but also about his family. In order to assure their safety he gets Sir Percy to bring them to his isolated island off Scotland. Lori is stressed, has a bodyguard and is seeing things on a smaller deserted island near the other island. It's a sweet story and some of my guesses were off which amused me greatly.
