Perfecto libro otoñal. Agatha Raisin es una señora inglesa que se muda a los Cotswolds e intenta adaptarse de vivir en Londres a la vida de un pueblito inglés. Pero ocurre algo...
Entretenido, divertido, engancha y ambientación de cottage británico

This is a lightweight cozy, set in a small English village; the newcomer, Agatha Raisin, sells her P.R. firm and retires to the Cotswolds, a childhood dream come true. Only--she's a fish out of water. She wants to feel accepted, but being accepted does mean being different than she's used to being. She considers returning to her old life, but when she visits London, it's not what she longs for. Oh, and then there's the man who she seemingly accidentally poisoned with her entry in the village quiche competition....
I really enjoyed the author's note at the beginning of the book, explaining the way that Agatha Raisin's character came to be.

The books are much weaker than the television series, which is at least a cool example of the power of strong adaption. I can’t keep reading the book series - Agatha on paper is just not likable and the book series has deeply problematic stereotypes and judgments regarding race and LGBT characters that are really gross. I’ll stick with the show.
No ha estado mal. Entretenido.
Mi problema yo creo que es en sí, los audiolibros. No me terminan de gustar.

I found the language contemporary to publication unexpected, so beware if that's a problem for you (some racial and homophobic language "acceptable" in 1992).
Otherwise it was a fairly expected plot, with many of the character archetypes one would expect in a little village mystery. It was refreshing to have an actually unlikeable heroine

Ya era hora de que conociese a la querida Agatha Raisin, que tanto he visto por aquí y tanto me atraía. Y ahora entiendo el éxito que ha tenido.
Bueno, esta es una historia entretenida, la primera de la serie de “Agatha Raisin”. Es una novela cómoda, graciosa. Le he cogido mucho cariño a la protagonista, una señorona con mal genio pero muy sentimental.
Bien escrita, corta, entretenida, humor negro, paisajes rurales ingleses que nos encantan, concursos de cocina, ferias y jardines. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?
