This is the second Aunt Dimity that I've actually abandoned at partially through. I read to about page 80 but I'm so sick of Lori's extramarital wanderings that I had to let it go. Lori's crush on 21 year old Toby is not cute, funny, or endearing. It's disgusting---for many reasons, but most obviously because this whole vacation was her faithful husband Bill's idea in the first place. We're not dealing with a silly school girl...isn't she like 40 or something? Please. Any concessions I gave Lori in the last book---one I actually enjoyed---have now been revoked. In this story, Lori has found a "clone" for every Finch person in those she meets in Colorado. I think introducing a clone for her husband is going a little too far---especially since the author has created these people as church-going people of faith. Ugh. I think I need another break from this series. ( )

Giddyap! Lori Shepherd and her clan are in the Rockies to recover (well, the twins hardly need that) in a small town very similar to Finch. Nice cozy read. ( )

Wholesome mystery that kept me interested from start to finish. I love the recipe at the end, and I plan on testing it out. ( )
