Aunt Dimity and the Heart of Gold
|
In the newest installment of the bestselling Aunt Dimity series, a dreary Christmas leads to hidden treasure and new friendships.
It's almost Christmas in the small English village of Finch--and everyone is sick. Though many of the villagers regretfully decline their invitations to Emma Harris's annual Christmas bash, Lori Shepherd has no intention of missing it. When the winter weather takes a turn for the worse during the party, 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 ditch. The driver---a lost and scatterbrained woman named Matilda "Tilly" Trout--is mercifully unhurt and instantly invited to stay the night. While Tilly catches her breath, Emma asks the rest of her guests if they would like a tour of the Manor--including a room that puzzles her. Several guests put forth guesses as to its purpose, but it's Tilly who correctly identifies the room as a chapel. When Tilly examines the chapel more closely, she makes an astonishing discovery: a hidden compartment concealing a pile of glittering treasures--including an exquisitely decorated heart made of solid gold. Where did the heart 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? With Aunt Dimity's otherworldly help and Tilly's bewildering store of knowledge, Lori and friends set out to unravel the mystery behind the heart of gold. And, against all odds, Christmas finally comes to Finch! |
