review: busy body

title: busy body (agatha raisin 21)
author: m.c. beaton
pages: 288
published: October 12th 2010 by Minotaur Books
rating: 3/5
goodreads summary:
Agatha Raisin has always been ambivalent about holiday cheer, but her cozy little village of Carsely has long prided itself on its Christmas festivities. But this year Mr. John Sunday, a selfimportant officer with the Health and Safety Board, has ruled that the traditional tree on top of the church is a public menace; that lampposts are unsafe for hanging illuminations; that May Dimwoody’s homemade toys are dangerous for children… Things have reached such a desperate pass that the Carsely Ladies’ Society joins forces with the ladies in the neighboring village of Odley Cruesis to try to put a stop to Mr. Sunday’s meddling—only to find that someone has literally put a stop to him with a kitchen knife.

Agatha’s detective agency is on the case, but when a man has made as many enemies as John Sunday, it’s hard to know where to start…


review:
now this book would have probably made a lot more sense to me if i actually started with the first one. it was a good book, i like it when mystery books have multiple deaths done by different murderers. it makes them interesting. i didn't like how long the chapters were though, as i'm someone who doesn't like to stop for the night in the middle of a chapter. other than that i don't really know what to say. i am most likely going to read the first one and try to read the rest. hopefully by doing that it'll this one will make much more sense.
