Ce tome m'a un peu déçue. Agatha était un peu plus bland sans ce volume et ça m'a déçue. Je pense que l'ambiance des Cottwold y est pour beaucoup, et c'est ce qui manquait dans ce tome. Personnellement, je n'étais pas fan que l'histoire se passe à Chypre... Vivement le prochain tome!

Following the catastrophe that was her wedding, Agatha chases James to the island of Cyprus. James again blows hot and cold with Agatha while she gets caught up in more murder and mayhem.

Sir Charles Frith makes a welcome return, I'd quite like him if he wasn't such a cheapskate. He does treat Agatha a damn site better than James does, and by the end of the book she seems to have woken up somewhat to his failings - I can only hope it lasts!

The setting of Cyprus made a nice change, Agatha managed to charm many of the locals whilst aggravating the police to no end.

Still loving this series. Trouble just seems to follow Agatha. James becomes even more of an insufferable jerk.

I do love the Agatha Raisin books as they are fast paced and a cosy little whodunit. I found the characters of Sir Charles and Jame a little too grating in this book and missed having the more rounded out character list. I don't think its the strongest in the series but still enjoyable and kept me guessing.
