The Quiche of Death

I needed that! I've run out of Agatha Christie and I've not enjoyed most contemporary authors who try to mimic her. But this one has a Christie flavor while still very much being its own thing. It's very cozy, but also left me laughing out loud frequently. A great break from the darker reading I've been doing.

I got the title from a fivebooks.com list of the best cozy mysteries, which started with A Murder is Announced. I'll definitely be going through the rest of that list!

Starts off like a farce -- the detective investigating a murder says, "Oh well, life goes on." Ends on a truer note. Now I know about Morris dancers.

Se lee fácil pero no me ha apasionado. Me ha costado entrar en la historia (y al libro también) y se resuelve todo en 3 páginas.

No sé si me leeré más de esta saga.

I didn't realize how many books were in this series but now I feel as though I have to finish them all and I am no longer looking forward to it.
