Sinossi
Lord Bellington è morto, però ben pochi, a Carsely, se ne dispiacciono. Aveva infatti deciso di rivestire con una colata di cemento un’area che i pensionati dei Cotswolds usavano come orto e la cosa aveva suscitato più di un malumore. Pare inoltre che Damian, suo figlio ed erede, non abbia il minimo interesse nel portare a compimento i piani di sviluppo del padre. Ma la polizia è interessata a lui, perché – a quanto sembra – Lord Bellington non è morto di morte naturale e bisogna trovare l’assassino. Assunta da Damien, Agatha si ritrova davanti il solito groviglio di possibili indiziati e vorrebbe chiedere aiuto a Gerald Devere, un affascinante detective in pensione che si è appena trasferito a Carsely. Tanto affascinante da aver fatto breccia non soltanto nel cuore di Agatha, ma anche di Margaret Bloxby, la sua migliore amica…

Lying somewhere in the range between cozy mystery and crime suspense, the Agatha Raisin series is great, undemanding entertainment reading. Twenty-seven books ago, Agatha Raisin left her PR job in London to take early retirement in a small village in the Cotswolds. She is irascible, very rarely grace Leggi tutto
*3.5 to 4 stars. I recently picked up The Witches' Tree , the 28th in the Agatha Raisin mystery series, from the new book shelf at the library and realized I had somehow missed reading number 27. Gasp! Thankfully my library had a copy of Pushing Up Daisies on the shelf. I wouldn't want to read them ou Leggi tutto
It was nice to see all the characters (this is the 4 part). The set up and resolutions are without much meat to them. People are ALWAYS home and not too busy to talk to Agatha. Many of the things are not reasonable. I think she crowded the book with characters and murders without a benefit to the re Leggi tutto
RE-READ UPDATE 7/21/16 First Review (6/25/16): This is the first book I've read from the Agatha Raisin series and I think that maybe it wasn't the best one to start on. The mystery was ok, the pacing was fine. There wasn't really anything I could fault, but there's nothing I can really praise either. Leggi tutto
Oh, Aggie. How I love thee. I even named my pug after you. Not to say you have wrinkles. Agatha Raisin may not be getting any younger, but she just keeps getting better. If you, like me, have been following this series for a long time, then you will know what I mean when I say I couldn't wait to get Leggi tutto
This was not the usual, feisty Agatha that I've come to know and love. She has become a little soft and tired, leaving much of the detecting to Toni and Simon. Surprisingly, she seems to be getting younger and has taken to petting and playing with her cats. I missed some of the old characters. Gone
