Sinossi
La serenità dei pittoreschi villaggi dei Cotswolds viene improvvisamente spazzata via da John Sunday, impiegato dell’Ufficio Salute e Sicurezza di Mircester. Negozianti, luci natalizie, persino i bambini cadono vittime della sua ottusa applicazione delle norme sanitarie. In breve, Sunday si ritrova con più nemici che capelli in testa… Poi, una sera, durante la riunione di un comitato di protesta nei suoi confronti, i presenti – tra cui Agatha – vengono messi di fronte a uno spettacolo orribile: Sunday è coperto di sangue, ridotto in fin di vita nel giardino della canonica. C’è un assassino in giro, e Agatha deve trovarlo.

I honestly don't know why I continue to read this series. Almost every single person is unpleasant, INCLUDING the main character. The whole feeling of the series is uncomfortable, itchy and irritable - it's like wearing a too-tight sweater. I guess because they take place in a Cotswold village, I ke Leggi tutto
Another great Beaton book with the irascible Agatha Raisin at it again. A number of murders are investigated in this book with more time passing than usual and, consequently, a mystery a bit more complex than those in the past. A new addition to the detective agency adds another dimension. There's a Leggi tutto
Read them! All of them. All 23. They are simply fabulous! I love them and love Agatha Raisin. The stories are set in the English Cotswolds - which is where I'm from, so that makes them extra special, but I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you want to read about an opinionated, outspoken, head Leggi tutto
Although Marion Chesney/M. C. Beaton has long been one of my favorite authors, I had not tried her Agatha Raisin books. Shocking, I know! I've read all her Regency romances multiple times, and ditto Hamish Macbeth (okay, just once for all of them, except for A Highland Christmas). So with great deli Leggi tutto
Will Agatha and Charles actually end up together??? Once again Agatha finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation.... she also managed to get the swine flu.... there was a lot going on in this book, and ultimately all of it was over Christmas lights..... when I pick up a book in the series Leggi tutto
This was a bit messy even for an Agatha Raisin. The pattern seems to be now; 1 - The main event (murder) 2 - “Investigation” with zero focus other than bouncing around the general surroundings and people. 3 - The second event (very often murder) 4 - Solution of second event (often, not always unrelate Leggi tutto
I took this one down a star as it is very snobbish about Christmas lights so I did not like that. It is really just 2 and one half stars so read a different book about Agatha Raisin. It did make me feel cooler so if it is too hot where you are it can help you to feel cooler. I also felt oddly sad fo Leggi tutto
This book reminded me of the time I made the mistake of getting my lady parts waxed at a nail salon: thoroughly and unnecessarily unpleasant. I wanted it to end. But it just didn't. Not for quite some time. Every small action was drawn out. And just when I would see a glimmer of hope that the whole
