Mon petit plaisirs automnal est de me retrouver dans la campagne anglaise en compagnie d'Agatha. J'ai trouvé que l'enquête était bien. L'homme sur lequel Agatha jette son dévolu était tellement détestable. J'ai passé vraiment un bon moment. Je suis toujours curieuse de lire la suite surtout avec ce qui c'est passé avec Tony dans ce tome.

It was a good cozy mystery but I didn’t like Agatha’s personality. She was always trying to get a guy and got jealous every time someone payed attention to a younger woman and not her.

I felt that she was very petty about other women getting the attention of guys.  She would be jealous and catty.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the murder mystery plot.

I really do like these. But I don't need Agatha swooning over some new guy. We could really let that plotline rest.

The usual fun Agatha Raisin fare, although it bugs me how jealous she is of young Toni. On the one hand she is very supportive, but on the other she always seems to be simmering about Toni's youthful glow - and not in a lighthearted, funny sort of way.
