Aunt Dimity Down Under by Nancy Atherton. 215 pp.
This series is a classic example of the "cozy" mystery: set in a small English village, with recurring characters. The viewpoint character isn't a cop or a detective; the mysteries being solved aren't always murder mysteries, and when they are they're not bloodsoaked horrors or anything. The books aren't riotously funny, but they're amusing. Gently amusing. So when I'm in the right mood, these books are a nice, gentle, unchallenging way to spend a couple of hours. Plus this particular volume had a lot of tourist-y information about New Zealand, since the main character spends a lot of the book visiting there.
