Sinossi
Il brutto tempo non è certo insolito, nei Cotswolds, ma è una nebbia pressoché impenetrabile quella in cui si trovano Rory e Molly Devere, il nuovo vicario e sua moglie, mentre stanno tornando a casa da una cena nel villaggio di Sumpton Harcourt. Poi, d’un tratto, i fari dell’auto illuminano un corpo appeso a un albero contorto: appartiene a Margaret Darby, un’anziana zitella del posto. Agatha Raisin si mette subito a indagare, ma a Sumpton Harcourt tutti sono molto riservati e, sebbene si dicano sconvolti per la fine atroce di quella tranquilla signora, non rivelano molto, neppure quando gli omicidi diventano tre. Agatha comincia a temere per la sua reputazione di detective, e persino per la sua vita, anche perché nel villaggio c’è una congrega di streghe ancora più reticente dai suoi abitanti…

Okay, here’s my confession… I want Agatha and Charles to get married and have a Happily Ever After. I loved this latest entry in the Agatha Raisin series. The Witches Tree has a great mystery, some truly devious crimes, and it’s just pure fun. Agatha is maturing. She’s still Agatha (no worries), but i Leggi tutto
*3.5 stars rounded up. I read the last two Agatha Raisin books (#27 and 28) back-to-back and they did not suffer from doing that, although I kept looking for characters introduced in the previous book to reappear. This story does take place immediately after #27--it is now late fall and the story be Leggi tutto
Well, what can I say - not up to the expected standard. The sentences were short, the story jumped from one thing to another - one minute someone was dead, and then he wasn't. Names of people had changed, and the continuity was all out of sync. I felt the story needed bulking out and I was reading t Leggi tutto
Another little caper with my old friend Agatha. I do wish there were a little progress in the characters' personal lives after 28 books, but all in all, I enjoyed it. Find more reviews and bookish fun at http://www.princessandpen.com
I guess I am just done with this series. This is the second book in a row of this series that I finished thinking, what a bunch of nasty people and why did I think this was funny?
My thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for an opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. After the last book, ‘Pushing up Daisies’, I had hoped that MC Beaton has turned a corner and her Agatha Raisin series would get back to what they had previous been with multiple story lines that bounce Leggi tutto
I thought Pushing Up Daisies was a bit disjointed but this latest Agatha Raisin adventure was even worse. Actually, it read as if two different people had penned it. Disjointed sentences and other grammatical errors that should have been corrected by the editors aside, this novel didn't even make se Leggi tutto
