Agatha Raisin and the Dead Ringer by M.C. Beaton
2.0
Uhhh..... I'm not sure what I just read. I love the Agatha Raisin books, but this was just a bit too 'eh?' for me.
It was all over the place. The narrative was jumpy, the characters numerous, the storyline was all over the place and some of it was just plain weird.
Not sure what happened to MC Beaton when she wrote this one, but she goes on about body odour, people defecating on desks... It was all a bit much.
I, of course, will be reading the other books that I've not read yet, it hasn't put me off because I know how good they have been before this one, but if I'd have read this as my first Agatha Raisin then I imagine I would have stopped there.
I'd not recommend this particular one, but do go and read the others, they are usually fab!
