2013 --RATING: 3 STARS
Agatha Raisin reminds me a lot of Miss. Marple in that she is nosey and sometimes hard to like. I still find the case and other characters a bit fun so I will keep reading the series.
2021 --RATING: 2.5 STARS
This is a reread for me, as I am trying to continue to the series. I did not enjoy it the second time around as much as the first. I think the characters from the series are much more likeable and take a away from the book versions.

I really want to like this series but I find Agatha to be miserable. Both in the series having her wanting to run back to the city and abandon her new life. At least she’s devoted to her cats in this book!
I didn’t guess who had done it, which is always good. It explores a lot of characters, many falling into very British characteristics. Not sure if I’ll continue on with the series or not, she really does annoy me, and in this episode James added to that annoyance, but there’s something to her that’s endearing.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I really want to like this series but can we please stop writing mature, independent, smart women who obsess over men who want nothing to do with them?

I liked it but the protagonist was a bit less funny in this volume and the story a bit less griping I feel.

120/2021 Poquito a poco me acabaré leyendo los casi treinta libros de esta saga.
Agatha ya está ubicada en su nueva vida en los Cotswolds, sigue locamente encaprichada de su vecino y la realidad es que se aburre bastante porque cada vez que puede se marcha a Londres.
Llega un nuevo veterinario al pueblo y tiene enloquecidas a todas las señoras por su atractivo, aunque es un poco pocho con los perros y los gatos, no le gustan los animales pequeños. Y este señor aparece muerto y ahí se van Agatha y James (el vecino) a investigar, pasando de la policía y de todos.
Más de lo mismo, pero todo bien.
