Emma Porter is 40, fat, frumpy, and a passionate amateur gardener. When her longtime lover dumps her for a younger woman, Emma escapes the cloying sympathy of family and friends by setting out on a summer-long driving tour of England's glorious gardens. A Dimity-contrived coincidence brings her to Penford Hall, a sprawling Gothic mansion in Cornwall, where she finds a duke in search of a missing lantern with extraordinary powers.
Suspecting there's more than one mystery to be solved at Penford Hall, Emma accepts the duke's invitation to stay on and restore the once glorious chapel garden to its former beauty. The dark rumors surrounding a rock star and the near-death of the duke's beautiful cousin confirm Emma's suspicions, and set her - with Aunt Dimity's ghostly guidance - on the path to Penford Hall's secrets and the pleasure of unexpected love.

FYI - that narrator is fine. Listen to her in the audio sample if you have any doubts but I have not found her to distract from the story at all.
A different cast of characters to like.

Things are complicated by a snobby model (outer beauty - inner beast), and the mystery of a rock star who disappeared in the nobleman's yacht one stormy night.
One of the most charming things about this mystery series is of course as always aunt Dimity's presence.

Also, the author has written a shockingly bad case of insta-love into this book. I can overlook it to some degree, because of when it was written, but it is an especially egregious case.
Worst. Narrator. Ever.

I’ll check the book out from the library to follow the story line.
Terrible narration!

But, the narrator - Teri Clark Linden’s halting, over emphasis on some words narration makes it so painful to listen to that I almost gave up on Aunt Dimity!
Sadly, she has narrated several of the books in the series .
I truly hope that at some point they will reissue these books using a better narrator that will allow these lovely books to shine.
My thanks to Nancy Atherton for the wonderful series.
If you can get past the awful narration, the book is a neat addition to the series!
Why-oh-Why use Teri Clark Linden?
