Joan's Reviews > Aunt Dimity's Christmas

Sappy as anything, but I'm in the mood for sappy. Lori is determined to make the twins' first Christmas perfect and is driving everyone nuts while she tries for her dream Xmas. But then a tramp is discovered in their driveway partly covered up by snow and Lori gets swept up into an adventure that tells her as much about herself as about the vagrant, maybe more. She is shocked to discover that her vagrant apparently had a stay at a mental asylum, and has a charge of murdering his father but discovers that all in not as it seems. Of course, the message of the Christmas story is to remember our humanity and do unto others what ye wants done onto ye, but it is delivered in a very non preachy way, even as Lori's journey is guided by an incredibly sexy priest as well as by Aunt Dimity. Recommended, more than the prior couple of stories in the series! Now, to go reserve the next one...
