Fun short story. If you are a fan of the Agatha Raisin series, it fun to see how she got her start as a young lady dreaming of her own Public Relations business. If you are new to the series, you might enjoy it as well.

nah not my jam at all. full of slut shaming, covert homophobia and just unrealistic dynamics. you should suspend ALL of your sense of disbelief to enjoy this novella. also, the pace was just so off, everything happens so fast and adds to the unrealistic/unbelievable feeling i felt while listening to the audio book. i was looking for a new crime series to start (i love reading crime mysteries during summer), but this was definitely not it

I wondered how Agatha Raisin got her start in both public relations and in detecting. This books provides the answers.

A short story describing how Agatha Raisin started off in the PR business and it was by solving her first case.

It was ok to read. A short story with not a lot of fact and seemed a bit rushed to be honest. The way everything went, I felt like the author rushed the story and by the end was glad it wass done.

Light hearted and fast. Its good for absolute fans of Aggie but I thought it was ok.
