A bit disappointed with this one. It wasn't up to her usual standard as the story jumped around a lot and there was too many characters. However it was funny in parts.

Pretty boring and lots of grammatical errors. I'm surprised I actually finished reading it.

I'm a big fan of Agatha Raisin and I liked this book even if it's not the best one in this series.
As usual once I started I couldn't put it down and I laughed a lot as well as trying to guess what the next love interest or the next murder victim would be.
Agatha is less bubbly and more introspective in this book and a lot is going with an open ending with wall will be her life in the next book.
The mystery part was fun to read and engaging, the cast of characters is as lovely as usual.
I recommend it but not if you never read any other book in this series. The TV show does not count.
Many thanks to St. Martin Press and Netgalley for this ARC

I think this is literally the worst book I've ever read. And I mean that in every possible way.

Great story. The copy I read was so poorly edited that it drove me to distraction. So many grammatical errors and quite a few errors in names.

I received a digital ARC from Net Galley for an honest review. This is the 29th Agatha Raisin book and the first one that I have read. This was a fun read. However, I felt the story jumped around a lot and was a bit confusing.

Poorly structured and poorly edited. I still like the characters but this disjointed text was a disappointment.

This had to be ghost written. It was way off. Agatha seemed like a completely different person in the first half of the book. There was just too much going on. Sad to give this 2 stars because I absolutely love Agatha cozy mysteries.
