Synopsis

It's almost Christmas in the small English village of Finch—and everyone is sick. Although many of the villagers regretfully decline their invitations to Emma and Derek Harris's annual Christmas bash, Lori Shepherd has no intention of missing it. When the winter weather takes a turn for the worse, it's agreed that none of the guests will leave until morning. There's general merriment as the Christmas party becomes a pajama party—until a car appears in the winding driveway and promptly slides off the slick pavement and into a tree. Matilda Tilly Trout—a lost and scatterbrained middle-aged woman—is mercifully unhurt and invited to stay the night. The next morning, Emma asks her guests if they would like a tour of the Manor—including a secret room she recently discovered. Several guests put forth guesses as to its purpose, but it's Tilly who correctly identifies the room as a chapel. Placing a palm on one of the ornately carved panels, Tilly finds a hidden compartment concealing a pile of glittering treasure—including an exquisitely decorated heart made of solid gold. Where did it come from, and why does it look so different from everything else in the chapel? Why didn't Emma even know about this hidden compartment in her own home until now—and how did Tilly?

Die Bücher rund um Lori, ihre Familie und ihre Freunde aus dem kleinen Dörfchen Finch in den Costwolds gelegen, sind immer ein Garant für schöne gemütliche und unterhaltsame Lesestunden - unaufgeregt, harmonisch, herrlich Klischee beladen (hier ein absolutes Muss für mich) und wunderbar warmherzig u......more

Goodreads review by Roslyn on October 03, 2019

Another comforting (if formulaic) foray into the familiar world of Aunt Dimity. One quibble about the story: (view spoiler)[Bree gets dumped by her fiancé and is heartbroken, and something like days or possibly weeks later, she's already fallen in love? I don't really buy it. Or ws it that did her love for her fia (hide spoiler)]......more

Another enjoyable story about Aunt Dimity. It is Christmas time and half the town is sick and the weather is bad, sounds like the Christmas where I live every year.
