Hazards in Hampshire

Not bad but long. Like the mature romance. Also, liked that the amateur sleuth and detective were not antagonistic to each other. There was a lot going on in this story. It could have almost been two books - almost. The characters are complex and we've begun to peel the onion so to speak on them. There are a few storylines that were not resolved and may end up persisting through a few more books, though I hope not.

Claire is not the typical nosy sleuth. She isn't eager to hear all of the local gossip. She is ok with her neighbors parties (every so often). She is not ok with finding a dead body and with the help of her guests begin outlining suspects. Things get a little off track in the middle when the guests go home and the mystery seems to go on the back burner. 

Overall, an entertaining story, especially for Agatha Christie fans.

Happy Reading!
