mysterious

3.5

Oof, this story didn't age well (published in 1992). There were also a lot of convenient plotlines in which the main character was rescued because someone happened to be nearby.

Aside from those issues, I did enjoy the narration and will probably listen to the next book in the series.

Aún siendo un tanto odiosa Agatha y algún que otro personaje, el libro ha sido divertido y entretenido sin pretensiones.

3.0

This might be the most ambivalent I've felt about a book. Most of the blame rests on Agatha Raisin herself, as she is a mixture of endearing and nearly intolerable. The narrative voice  isn't exempt from many of her flaws either.

(This digital edition included a Christmas themed short story at the end which spoils some aspects of the further series but suggests that Agatha might smooth out ...a bit.)

I am not a huge Agatha Christie reader, but I was not particularly reminded of the few I've read a while back here, if I was meant to be.
