I started off not really liking Agatha but as the book went on I found that I did not dislike her as much. I am not sure that I am at the point where I like her but I am now willing to read the second book in the series to see if I want to read all the books.

If you are looking for a book that has a challenging who done it then this is not for you. The focus is much more on Agatha than the mystery of the title.

Overall I did enjoy the book but I will read the next more interested in Bill the policeman than for Agatha.

I'm pretty sure that Agatha Raisin is the textbook definition of an Unlikable Heroine. So naturally I vibed with her quite a bit.

Though it is worth noting that this came out in 1992, and the views of 1992 haven't always aged well. This is the pain and joy of reading things of the past.

M.C. Beaton's writing reminds me of Miss Read, writing about Thrush Green. It's a very dispassionate style. You have to acquire a taste for it. The mystery was well written, with enough clues for the reader. Agatha herself is hard to like - her mental processes are not well explained.

If you like the Hamish MacBeth murder stories by this same author, then you will like these.
