I really do like these. But I don't need Agatha swooning over some new guy. We could really let that plotline rest.

The usual fun Agatha Raisin fare, although it bugs me how jealous she is of young Toni. On the one hand she is very supportive, but on the other she always seems to be simmering about Toni's youthful glow - and not in a lighthearted, funny sort of way.

I might have read too many Agatha Raisin in a row. I didn't enjoy this one as much. I liked Mentor-Agatha and would have liked that to continue. (I assume it doesn't, since Toni now has her own agency.) Charles needs to do something. I don't know *what*, but he's annoying me more than usual of late. Three and a half stars for the story.
Either I've gotten used to audiobook narrator Wanda McCaddon or she's improved since book 18. Probably a little of both. I didn't have as much trouble following her when I was distracted (listening while multi-tasking), and there were a couple of vocal choices from book 18 that I had disagreed with that she did differently in book 19. She gets 4.5 stars. (Is it petty to remove half a star simply because she's not Penelope Keith? Well, maybe Aggie is rubbing off on me.)

This was the first Agatha Raisin book I've read and I don't think I've ever read any book with such an unlikable main character! She is just horrible and was not entertaining in the least. I ended up finishing the book only because I kept hoping it would get better, but by the end -- it hadn't.
