A heartwarming and gently mysterious escape to the Scottish coast — where family, friendship, and a hint of the supernatural bring light to even the stormiest seas.
When Lori Shepherd receives a frightening threat against her family, she’s whisked away to a remote Scottish island for protection. The beautiful setting seems like the perfect retreat — until mysterious happenings and a haunting legend suggest otherwise. With her ghostly confidante, Aunt Dimity, offering guidance from beyond, Lori must uncover the truth behind the island’s secrets before danger comes too close to shore.
 
In Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea, Nancy Atherton delivers another cozy, magical tale blending mystery, friendship, and the supernatural. Lori Shepherd never expected her quiet life in Finch to be disrupted by criminal threats, but when she and her twin sons are sent to a castle on the windswept Scottish coast, she soon realizes that danger travels fast — even across oceans.
 
While the castle’s residents seem friendly enough, eerie noises, hidden rooms, and an ancient legend about a restless spirit soon make Lori question her surroundings. With help from Aunt Dimity’s wise words — and her trademark blue notebook — Lori unravels a mystery that tests her courage and deepens her appreciation for life, love, and family. This enchanting installment in the Aunt Dimity series is cozy fiction at its most comforting: part ghost story, part heartwarming adventure, and wholly delightful.
