I did enjoy reading [b: Maggie Dove's Detective Agency|29776867|Maggie Dove's Detective Agency|Susan Breen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1475864726s/29776867.jpg|53134586], by [a: Susan Breen|1406362|Susan Breen|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1449366884p2/1406362.jpg]. I am an older woman that appreciates a geriatric female protagonist. Her business partners; Agnes and Helen are interesting characters.
This book stands alone well enough, but I think I would understand the business relationship at the agency better if I read #1.
At first it seemed as if Agnes had more authority and ownership of the business, and just named it after Maggie. Agnes seemed bossy, and scattered, and I never knew what to expect from her character.
Maggie Dove is still mourning the loss of her only daughter, and I have a firsthand understanding of that sorrow. Others want you to "get over it." I applaud [a: Susan Breen|1406362|Susan Breen|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1449366884p2/1406362.jpg] for showing the importance of grief, and that there is a time frame of loss for each person.
The mixture of witchcraft vs Catholicism vs mainstream opinion was at odds in narration - in my opinion.
Maggie's affection for Helen's raging, violent child was another part that did not seem to jibe with me. Would Helen and or Maggie tolerate a child running and launching himself at an elderly woman, taking a chance on a dire injury?
It seemed like the author had much to say, and tried to fit it all into book 2, when perhaps a 2.5, would help with the complicated subplots.
This novel was well written, and I may update this after reading Book #1.
Thank you.… (plus d'informations)
