Sinossi
Le campane della chiesa di St Etheldreda sono l’orgoglio dell’idillico villaggio di Thirk Magna, nei Cotswolds. E lo stesso si può dire dei campanari, un gruppetto guidato dalle gemelle Mavis e Millicent Dupin, che da qualche tempo si stanno esercitando per accogliere al meglio il vescovo in vista pastorale. Ma l’ansia gioca brutti scherzi e le gemelle sono così preoccupate che tutto vada per il meglio da costringere i campanari a esercitarsi sino allo sfinimento… al punto che Joseph Kennell, un avvocato in pensione, finisce per gridare loro di avere “voglia di ucciderle”. Così, quando la casa delle due viene svaligiata, i sospetti ovviamente ricadono su di lui, e il campanaro-avvocato incarica Agatha Raisin di scagionarlo. Ma più che su un furto, Agatha si troverà a dover far luce su un’inquietante serie di omicidi. Tra invidie di paese, parroci maneschi, poliziotti scomparsi e giornalisti d’assalto, dovrà stare davvero… in campana per individuare l’assassino.

I'm a huge fan of Agatha Raisin but unfortunately this book was a disappointment. Agatha has turned into a grumpy woman who seems miserable. I missed the fun loving Agatha who was always fun and sharp tongued. This story seemed fractured, like I was missing some important information and it kept jumpi Leggi tutto
This is the first Agatha book I couldn’t finish. It was so simplistic and ridiculous. The story dumped around, the characters were flat, Agatha wasn’t herself, and it desperately needed editing. I was really disappointed.
Agatha Raisin has changed, and not for the better. She seems to be perpetually unhappy, and lacks the drive that had made her so delightful. Perhaps she is unhappy with her creator, because author M. C. Beaton seems to have lost her touch in writing Agatha’s stories. This book, like others late in t Leggi tutto
So in this book we clear out the Cotswalds. Seriously dead bodies are stacking up like firewood. Although I still love Agatha and am a huge fan of cozy mysteries, this book wasn't quite as cohesive as others in the series. I still loved it, so don't get me wrong. Agatha has lost some of her zest. S
*3.5 stars rounded up. The 29th in the series! Can you believe it? I enjoy these quick-reading funny mysteries set in the Cotswolds, with a smart, feisty, and sexy private detective named Agatha Raisin who always finds herself driven off track by her fierce desire to find true love. If she could jus Leggi tutto
