Cozy mystery lovers' favorite paranormal sleuth is back with her twentieth otherworldly adventure in the New York Times-bestselling series. Watch out for Nancy Atherton's latest, Aunt Dimity and the King's Ransom, coming in July 2018 from Viking
It's June, the roses are in bloom, and the small English village of Finch may be in big trouble. Two cottages are for sale, but something--or someone--is driving buyers away. Has a developer targeted Finch? Will property values skyrocket? Will a wave of wealthy weekenders drive out the longtime locals? Lori Shepherd has a lot on her plate--a brand-new baby daughter, her father-in-law's impending nuptials, and a visit from her dreaded aunts-in-law--but she refuses to stand back and watch while big money destroys her beloved village. Lori sets her sights on the local real estate agent, but finds herself sidetracked by a chance encounter with an eccentric inventor. Arthur Hargreaves, dubbed the Summer King by his quirky family, is as warmhearted as the summer sun. With him, Lori forgets her troubles, until she makes a series of unsettling discoveries. An ancient feud between his family and the town comes to light. And then there's Arthur's connection to the local real estate firm. Is the Summer King as kind as he seems? With Aunt Dimity's otherworldly help--and her new baby girl in her arms--Lori fights to save her village from the Summer King's scorching greed.Author Biography
