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.

I was scrolling my library app and was interested by the premise. After doing some research on the author and the series, I thought a good place to begin would be this prequel. It wasn’t my cup of tea tbh. However I don’t want to write off the series based on that, because various readers have felt the same way. Maybe I’ll pick up Agatha’s adventures again
The audio was not to my liking
