With rain crashing down on her Range Rover, as it climbs up a steep embankment on the Northumberland moors, Lori Shepherd is beginning to doubt the wisdom of her decision to evaluate a rare book collection at Wyrdhurst Hall. The grim, neo-gothic hall that greets her upon arrival is full of surprises-including a charming, secretive stranger, and a cache of World War I letters that tell a tale of doomed love and hint at a hidden treasure. It will take all of Dimity's supernatural skills to help Lori solve the puzzle and restore peace to a family haunted by its tragic past.… (plus d'informations)

Whhhhhyyyyyy do I read these. Ugh. I am so done.

Lori is supposedly soooooo in love with her husband yet she fantasizes about every relatively attractive and eligible man she meets. Crawls into bed with him...really? Why did I read this.

Adam seems to accept weird things too readily. Other characters were flat. I can't stand Lori. I don't even like me right now. Stay away from these books!!! Learn from me!!!! ( )

I admit, it was the 'Devil' in the title that got me reading this one! This is one of a long series of 'cozy' supernatural mystery novels. Unlike some I've read in this genre, the supernatural plot elements are 'real.' 'Aunt Dimity' is a ghost who communicates with the rather ordinary Lori Shepherd through messages in an old diary, giving her warnings when needed - and helping her solve mysteries, of course. In this episode, Lori reluctantly leaves her toddlers alone with their father and takes an assignment to evaluate a rare-book collection, located in a Gothic mansion in a remote corner of England. But what seems like a straightforward job becomes more complex when first, Lori needs to be rescued by a temptingly handsome stranger, the couple who are the new owners of the rare books library are hardly acting like newlyweds... and warnings are coming from Dimity to 'Leave, Now.'
Entertaining light reading. ( )

A rather delightful "cozy" featuring the ghost of Aunt Dimity, that makes her voice heard in form of automatic writing in a blue Journal.

Wyrdhurst Hall is haunted, the locals are disgruntled, the owners of the manor are rather unhappily married, the husband goes off days at a time leaving his wife alone with the hauntings, and Lori is brought in to evaluate the Library's collection.

Little does Lori know that she will be the one to unravel the mystery of the ghostly heriss, lost love, & her untimely death by partial possession.....

I easily read this in one day and I'll most likely read others in the series. ( )

Okay. predictable. It might be better if I had read the preceding titles. I read the first one Aunt Dimity's Death and enjoyed it. This is number six and I didn't know all of the characters. ( )

I didn't like this one. I just couldn't swallow the whole possession theme and the mystery was shallow with the outcomes too sensationalist. ( )
