This might be the most ambivalent I've felt about a book. Most of the blame rests on Agatha Raisin herself, as she is a mixture of endearing and nearly intolerable. The narrative voice isn't exempt from many of her flaws either.
(This digital edition included a Christmas themed short story at the end which spoils some aspects of the further series but suggests that Agatha might smooth out ...a bit.)
I am not a huge Agatha Christie reader, but I was not particularly reminded of the few I've read a while back here, if I was meant to be.

Moderate: Infidelity, Murder, and Sexism
Minor: Alcoholism and Racism
(note: I usually try to be more thorough but this time I have not even approached a complete survey of content to warn for.) Murder is genre typical.
