I could take it or leave it. It was at the end of the ebook I borrowed, [b:Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley|139177|Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley (Agatha Raisin, #4)|M.C. Beaton|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1314736726s/139177.jpg|1405838]. Unfortunately it did have a spoiler of the series it because this story was written several years after the novel, so I'm bummed about that. And, it was just a so-so story. But I love Agatha Raisin, so despite this disappointment, I'll read more novels.

First, a note that I am not very familiar with Agatha Raisin. I have to say that I wasn't expecting what I got. I honestly don't know why, because I've read her entire Macbeth series. For some reason - I guess because this series has a female protagonist - I was expecting it to be a bit more... prudish?

Boy, was I wrong. Agatha Raisin is such an entertaining character and Beaton's ability to portray that in less than 100 pages is a great look for this series. You have my interest.

In the words of the great Dame Agatha Christie, "don't eat none of the plum pudding". In this case, because it's undercooked. And has insecticide in it. Also an overdose of Viagra is not a good appetizer.

Who says you can't learn anything from fiction?

 On m'avait parlé d'Agatha Raisin et j'étais curieux de la découvrir, et de m'intéresser un peu à des livres d'enquête (c'est quand même dans le titre), mais j'ai juste détesté. Je ne sais pas si tous les livres de cette série sont à ce niveau, je n'espère pas en tout cas, mais cette petite nouvelle-là n'était pas bonne du tout. Aucun acte n'a de conséquence réelle, tout se résolve trop facilement pour elle et pour tout le monde, et tout va aussi trop vite, je n'ai pas du tout aimé...
