Lori Shepherds’ husband has been getting some very serious death threats against him and his family. An unusual occurrence for an attourney in the field of estate law. To protect Lori and their twin boys, they are sent to stay at a castle of a friend off a remote off Scotland. The property has all the latest in security systems, along with hired security staff. The island, itself, isn’t easily accessible. Meanwhile, Bill, Lorie’s husband stays home to work on finding possible leads as to who is making the threats. While on the island, a human skull washes up on the beach. There are also stories of the island’s past history involving smuggling. A couple of young people turn up on the island. One is someone Lori knows well from home, but is travelling under an assumed name. The two people are studying the bird population of the island, but things observed by the two people makes Lori wonder if the island’s past of smuggling isn’t still going on. With a set of very active twins, a mother with a very active and inquisitive mind and threats against the family there is a recipe for possible, or rather inevitable danger. Aunt Dimity proves to be a source of history and some sensibility, even if she is available in the pages of a journal. The Dimity series is a fun read with highs and lows. Dimity seems to be the steering rudder for Lori in her sleuthing. Something Lori needs to curb her vivid and wide ranging mind at times. Another great book in the series! This was the perfect way to start the new year because it was easy to read, full of action and had a happy ending! I loved reading how Lori (the main character) maintains her optimistism even while facing a threat to her family. If you are looking for a book (or series) that has mystery, action, and leaves you with a smile when you close the book - I recommend this one! Ugh. As far from a cozy mystery as you could get. Far-fetched, forced, and really not much fun or very interesting. Not sure why this author wanted to tell this sort of story, but it seems like it should have been told with different characters or not within this particular series. I just didn't enjoy it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The origin of the name of Dundrillin Castle cracked me right up...guess I was just in the mood for really bad humor---ha!
I especially like what Aunt Dimity said at the end when Lori talked about tearing down landscaping to keep her home more safe. Aunt Dimity said we don't fight evil by destroying life. Instead, we do life-giving things and we "defeat evil every time we commit an act of kindness." Yes, Ma'am---that's good stuff!
The completion of this book also allowed for the completion of my yearly goal of reading 50 books...and it's only August! Yay me! ( )
