I never understood the phrase "cozy mystery" until I read this book. Not too violent or gruesome, quirky protagonist, entertaining side characters, small town... All the works. A few bits of the book haven't aged well, but it's overall a fun read.
I wasn't sure what I thought about the main character at first. Agatha comes across as rough, not caring about others, and a bit rude all things considered. However, as the story goes along, you can see how things start to change--slowly as all people do. The mystery was good and kept me guessing from the moment the victim keeled over. I'll give the second book in the series a try as I did like Agatha a bit more by the end of it.
Entretenida. Está bien que la protagonista no sea una mujer joven, guapa, carismática y amable. Me gusta cómo va creciendo el personaje y también Billy Wong.
Eso sí, por una frase que se dice sobre otro personaje me he pasado todo el final esperando un plot twist extra que nunca llegó jajaja

This book is a solid read. I appreciated the fact that the main character is kind of unlikable and cantankerous. I may read more from this series.
A terrible big-city woman retires early, moves to the countryside, and stubbornly tangles herself up in murder by bringing a London-bought quiche to a local baking contest.
Charmingly flawed characters, wittily plotted, snarkily written. Recommend for non-simpering cozy readers.

Parfaite lecture au chalet! J'ai beaucoup plus apprécié que ce à quoi je m'attendais. Je vais en lire d'autres de la série.

I decided to try a little cosy crime and I didn't mind it. I don't understand how people could only read this type of book, but the familiar Cotswold villages and typically eccentric English characters can be a decent bit of light relief.
