"Aunt Dimity and the Family Tree (Aunt Dimity, #16)" by Nancy Atherton

These mysteries are a good read when you are getting tired of finding dead bodies in the library. The mysterious is imbued in the regular everyday activities in the little known village of Finch. Think Ms. Marple without any actual blood shed. Mix one newly restored Georgian manor, one handsome retired, single American lawyer, and you have the beginning steps to a tango of confusion. Throw in a group of old biddies known as the Handmaidens, and sprinkle lightly with a summer romance a la golden age and you build towards a climax in which who steps on whose toes is truly a mystery. It'll take Lori and Aunt Dimity to figure out what exactly is going on; at least the ghostly music is Benny Goodman.
