Lori and 16 other people liked Kim's review of Devil’s Delight (Agatha Raisin, #33): "No offense to R.W Green but I think I’m done with this series. The plots are too outlandish now and too many new characters are showing up. Nothing is working anymore, including Agatha herself. It’s a shame as this used to be a firm favorite of mine."
