Publisher's Synopsis
While exploring the attic in her cottage near the small English village of Finch, Lori Shepherd makes an extraordinary discovery: a gold and silver bracelet inlaid with gleaming garnets, which she quickly learns belonged to Aunt Dimity. When Lori brings news of the garnet bracelet to Aunt Dimity, it awakens poignant memories of a doomed romance in Aunt Dimity's past. Regretfully, Aunt Dimity asks Lori to do what she could not bring herself to do - return the bracelet to her unsuccessful suitor or to his rightful heir. In the meantime, a new family has moved to Finch. The villagers are thrilled because their new neighbours are avid metal dectorists. Metal detectors soon become all the rage in Finch and the villagers unearth a lot of rubbish (some of its quite embarrassing) before one of them stumbles upon a real treasure - an ancient hoard of priceless gold and silver artifacts.
