This is the 11th of the series, which I think started out kind of slow but improves with each new book. Beaton, like no other author, writes what real women over 40 think about. Wouldn't hurt a man to read these books to better understand, if they wanted to, what we think about, married or single. It ain't easy, guys.

She has Agatha thinking about all the things wrong with her appearance, and how sad/mad she feels when someone makes a crack about her being "old," the lengths she goes thru to look younger to get a man, to be more "refined" - and Beaton does it so skillfully. I've never seen anything quite like Beaton writing about Agatha Raisin.

If you start, remember I warned you that it starts slow. At some point you will be hooked...It's the kind of book that's good after an exceptionally long, sad, or scary book.
