A lost manuscript comes to light and Agatha adorn authenticates it. But is it genuine? Agatha is a quirky character with her pedantic ways and her love of gin. Her ex lover dies and questions need answering which may put Agatha in danger.

Enjoyed this well written and well narrated novel (I listened to the audiobook). Quirky characters set in a world of literary fiction. Is money the motive or is there more mystery to uncover? Enjoy finding out.

And now for something a little different.

I’m supposed to despise Agatha Dorn, I know this, I know it as-well as I know that she’d read my review and rip me a new one for my grammar and spelling. Reader, I loved her. She’s bitter, acerbic, anal, pedantic, self absorbed and awful. She suffers no fools and seems to care for no one.

This is a smart and funny true crime novel. The story doesn’t detract much from the blurb, but that’s intended as a compliment. It didn’t need to, it carried along on a wave of cantankerous Agathaisms, gin procured headaches. Murder,suicide, lies, deception and betrayals. I laughed a lot more than I expected, and I just know the author had a great time writing this.

“People who wear as much tie die as her are supposed to be at one with the universe”

“Life is very different for the beautiful”

Excellent work, fantastic narration.

Many thanks to Bolinda Audio and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this audio arc.
