Frenzi's Reviews > Agatha Raisin e la Sorgente della morte

Agatha Raisin, the sharp-tongued amateur detective with a keen sense of sarcasm, has just returned from Cyprus, where she tried to mend her relationship with James Lacey, her enigmatic and elusive neighbor. In an attempt to move on from this disappointment, she takes on a freelance public relations consultancy role for a company looking to market water from a spring located in Ancombe, a quiet and nearby English village. In this seventh book, Agatha finds herself embroiled in a dispute between the village council members, some in favor of commercializing the water and others against it, until one of them is murdered before expressing their opinion. Agatha must juggle her PR work with investigative efforts to find the culprit, all the while not neglecting matters of the heart.

Agatha is a petulant and irascible character who often drives away the people she cares about. Her character is real, unique, insufferable, but precisely for these reasons, endearing! Despite her strong personality and direct demeanor, Agatha dreams of finding true love. Her ongoing quest reflects her imperfect yet very human nature. Her romantic adventures are often a source of humor, but they are also an essential part of her personal growth.
