Rezension von NadiraI see that some people like the imperfectness of Agatha, but I also need to say that I found her and the relationship to (actually married) Paul quite annoying. I think she deals with what a lot of middle aged women have to deal with - always welcoming a guy despite the fact he acts childish, being afraid of aging, caring about her appearance - even as a badass detective? I mean she reflects on it: „After checking her appearance again she thinks frustrated: She was mentally tied to her generation who considered every man as a prospektive lover.“ (And: „Dressing for men meant never feeling secure and never feeling comfortable.“) Anyway about the story itself, when it wasn't focused in the love story or Agathas insecurities, it was okay. It didn't catch me but it was also cozy and soft, nice for the evening - no horror at all.
