About this deal
PR guru-tuned amateur sleuth Agatha Raisin is hoping to make it the best holiday yet with the reluctant help of trusty pal Roy. Even the murder of a Mrs Tamworthy, poisoned with hemlock, does little to distract her and yet it should, as Mrs Tamworthy had written to Agatha, telling her that one of her family wanted to see her dead before the year was out. I have become more and more convinced over the years that these books are 'first drafts' and that nobody is allowed to edit them to make them better.
Mal écrit, mal construit, les dialogues sont pouiches et répétitifs, Agatha Raisin est agressante au possible, mais tout ça aurait pu se pardonner si au moins ça s'était passé à Noël comme le titre le laissait entendre.Agatha Raisin has always wanted to have a traditional Christmas with a proper Christmas tree, turkey and plum pudding and especially snow on Christmas day.
When a wealthy widow hires Agatha because she's convinced a member of her family is trying to kill her, Agatha is intrigued---especially when the widow drops dead after high tea at the manor house.Agatha, chiamata a investigare, riuscirà ancora una volta a risolvere il caso, aiutata da una giovane impiegata. I love Ashley Jensen's Agatha and can't wait to watch the episode of Kissing Christmas Goodbye tonight! Although this was the 18th book in the series I was glad Roy Silver, DC Bill Wong and Sir Charles Fraith were still in the series.
