   Books Read in 2020 (3,856) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) cfulton20 | Nov 13, 2023 |  The mystery was fun to work out and there were plenty of twists and turns to keep me engaged. The characters, especially the regular cast, are funny and feel very real and fleshed out. I suppose after 30 books, they should. This is only my third book in the series - I read the first two - and watched most of the TV series. I can absolutely see myself hunting down the older books to enjoy though. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of the audiobook to review! ( ) amcheri | Jan 5, 2023 | Review of the St. Martin's Press Minotaur hardcover (December 2020) Hot to Trot finds Agatha Raisin interfering in the marriage of friend and sometime lover Sir Charles Fraith who has made a marriage of convenience to cover the debts of his estate. Ex-husband James Lacey is back as well and joins Agatha in some of the escapades. The bride is murdered and Agatha is on the trail in order to clear both Sir Charles and herself from suspicion. The hardcover edition includes a Foreword by continuation writer R.W. Green describing how he worked with M.C. Beaton on this final Agatha Raisin book which she collaborated on. Generally I think that Green will do fine with the series in the future. He makes a few mistakes such as having James Lacey call Agatha by the nickname Aggie, which I'm fairly certain was only ever used by Roy Silver and Sir Charles in the previous books. Also, it seemed totally out of character for Sir Charles' butler Gustav to act friendly with Agatha, even if he was also working to clear Sir Charles from suspicion in the murder. But I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend etc. I'm continuing to enjoy the fun of these cozies which are somewhat different from the TV-series which I saw first. Sir Charles is much more of a recurring character and occasional love interest than he is in the screen adaptation and his cheap and chintzy manners are played up quite a bit. Hot to Trot was a collaboration of author M.C. Beaton (one of the pennames of Marion Chesney) (1936-2019) with continuation writer R.W. Green. A continuation series Book 32 Down the Hatch written entirely by Green is yet to be released, and is expected to be published in October 2021. Trivia and No Link Hot to Trot has not yet been adapted for the currently ongoing Agatha Raisin TV series (2016-). If they continue adapting the books roughly chronologically then it would be several years away from being adapted, assuming the TV series carries on that long.

When Private Investigator Agatha Raisin learns that her friend and one-time lover Charles Fraith is to be married to a mysterious socialite, Miss Mary Brown-Field, she sees it as her duty to find out what she can about the woman. Coming up empty, Agathaâ??out of selfless concern for Charles, of courseâ??does the only sensible thing she can think of: she crashes their wedding, which ends in a public altercation. Nursing a hangover the next morning, she gets a phone call from Charles, with even more disturbing news: Mary has been murdered.Agatha takes on the case, and quickly becomes entrenched in the competitive equestrian world, in which Mary had been enmeshedâ??as well as the victim's surprisingly violent past. Agatha finds no shortage of motives among a wide range of characters, from Mary's old riding competitors, to enemies from her schoolgirl days, to her surly father, who threatens Agatha to mind her own business. Meanwhile, the police department has its money on another suspect: Agatha. Will she track down the criminal in time, or end up behind bar Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
