Sinossi
Quando Agatha scopre che Charles, suo amico ed ex amante, sta per sposare Mary Brown-Field, una donna tanto ricca quanto misteriosa, fa l’unica cosa (in)sensata che le viene in mente: s’imbuca al loro matrimonio e la cosa sfocia in un alterco tra lei e la sposa. E, il mattino successivo, si scopre che Mary è stata assassinata. I genitori della sposa puntano il dito contro Agatha e Charles e l’ispettore Wilkes è ben lieto di mettersi a cercare le prove per sbatterli in galera. Ma non ha fatto i conti con la determinazione di Agatha, che inizia a indagare su Mary e scopre che aveva un passato violento, un padre non proprio irreprensibile nonché rapporti molto tesi con le compagne di equitazione (la sua vera passione). Senza contare le sue mire su Barfield House, la storica dimora di famiglia di Charles.

Recensioni
I was going to let this percolate for a bit, but I realized there’s no reason to. I can’t see my feelings changing on this one. This is a perfectly fine book. And Agatha isn’t Agatha anymore. I realize that M.C. Beaton is dead, and the guy who took over for her really tried, but Agatha is missing so m Leggi tutto
I think...it might be time for Agatha to retire and Toni to take over the agency. This is, I believe, the first book fully written by MC Beaton's ghostwriter, and it shows. Multiple characters calling Agatha "Aggie" when it is established in earlier books that only Sir Charles calls her that. Mrs. B Leggi tutto
Thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and Minotaur Books for this free advance copy in return for an honest review. One must wonder if after 30 books Agatha Raisin will become a bit tired and stale. This 31st book co-authored by Beaton and Rod Greene proves that there still is a lot of spunk left Leggi tutto
It is but a pale imitation. Everything that endeared Agatha to the reader and exasperated them at the same time was missing from this book. The other characters were slightly to greatly distorted as well. Since when did Mrs. Bloxby start addressing Agatha by her first name? And only Charles and Roy
It was a tip of the hat to this author choosing to read this book, written by a man who spent time with her in coming up with how best to write in her voice. The introduction to this book goes over her lifetime achievements and experiences, and having read so many of her books over the years I found Leggi tutto
As a stand alone book the plot is good. But I feel like R.W Green has perhaps not read the books in the series before. Maybe just cliff notes. It’s the small details and character developments that is missing. For one the relationship with James has changed. There has been nothing with him and Agath Leggi tutto
Where is the wonderfully feisty, man-crazy, shoe-, hair-, make-up obsessed Agatha Raisin I've loved for years? For me, as M.C. Beaton is gone, so is Agatha.
I only learned from the introduction to this book that Beaton passed away just about a year ago. She had another writer help her though this story, which I believe she knew would be her last. It is true to the other Agatha Raisin books which was a relief. I will miss the feeling of looking forward t Leggi tutto
