Query: SADLY DISAPPOINTING!

I have now read all 11 books in this series and would not discourage anyone from beginning them - HOWEVER - be aware that only the first ones are good. Her last books pale. This book is so disappointing I had to force myself to finish. She has made Lori the main character and pushed Aunt Dimity to a non-existant role. Dear old "dead" aunt Dimity, writing from beyond in the journal, was the reason I began reading this series. She is now defunct and Atherton has turned Lori into a "superwoman". Disgusting and disappointing. When I tried to reach her via her website to inform her of a fan's falling away I discovered she doesn't even keep up the website and provides no outlet for comment. Do read the first 6 or 7 - but be prepared to read the last unfulfilled. Too bad because if another surfaces I will have to reconsider purchasing upon reading the review and even then - reconsider again.
