This week’s teaser is from one of my favorite cozy mystery series, Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea by Nancy Atherton. This is a non-murder mystery series that might appeal to those who don’t care for anything sinister in their reading. Please note: I do advise reading this series in order
I looked up, too, and felt a sliver of ice slide down my spine.
A human skull sat wedged in a crevice near the top of the rock, well above the high-water line. It stared down at us, grinning its timeless, maniacal grin, and for a shattering moment I thought that its fleshless maw had emitted a cackle of laughter, but it was only the shriek of a passing gull.
(Chapter Eight)
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Series: Aunt Dimity #11
When Lori Shepherd’s husband receives a series of death threats aimed at her and their twin boys, she retreats to a remote island off the Scottish coast and to a fabulous castle restored by an eccentric adventurer. There she is drawn into a mystery that may involve an illegal smuggling operation or worse. Why has a human skull washed up on the beach? Is a desolate island really the best place to hide from a murderer? And will Aunt Dimity’s supernatural kibitzing help Lori solve the case before it’s too late?
