Nancy Atherton's Aunt Dimity and the Duke
No ghosts in the second Aunt Dimity book, which flashes back to show how the friendly and helpful neighbor couple from the first one met—with the help of Aunt Dimity, of course! This one involves a duke, a possibly murdered rock star, a missing lantern with magical powers, a pair of cool little kids, and a lot of gardening. I liked it a lot, even if it did lean a bit hard on the benevolent lord o' the land sort of stuff. B+.
