Allegra Fairweather Mystery

review 1: 2,50Je l'ai d'abord commencé en audiobook avant de manquer de patience, et d'occasions de le poursuivre.Si le pitch semble prometteur avec une pléthore de possibilités, je ne l'ai pas trouvé bien exploité. Il manque des éléments que je ne parviens pas franchement à définir. Il m'a laissé comme un goût de pas assez... Je n'ai pas réussi à m'attacher à Allegra, qui manque un peu de consistance. J'ai été frustrée quand elle mentionne certains cas passés qui ne sont pas développés. J'ai eu l'impression de prendre l'histoire en route, et de rester sur ma faim, quand je ne me suis pas sentie totalement exclue comme s'ils étaient des private jokes destinées qu'à elle même. Puis Casper est trop lisse, bien trop sérieux et "céleste", pas assez humain dans ... morela mesure où il ne manifeste aucune palette d'émotions . Dommage !Je tenterai malgré tout le 2ème par curiosité pour voir si cela évolue ou me conforte dans ce sentiment.
review 2: I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this book, but I did quite enjoy it for a quick, light read. Allegra is a paranormal investigator and when she hears about the appearance of the Denfield Rose in Scotland and immediately flies over to this tiny village near the Lochs. Soon after her arrival, the whole village hears the wails of a banshee and they all know that there will be a death soon enough and how right they were, only the body disappears to be replaced by a pile of fish. I thought this was hilarious! Allegra speaks to several different people from the village and other villages close by, but she is still nowhere near working out what's going on. The only clue she has is a tingling big toe any time she's physically near to something supernatural and that only happens twice, so she returns to both places. One of these places reveals something I hadn't worked out and the rest of the investigation speeds up quite dramatically to an excellent finish.I liked Allegra as a character for the most part, but wasn't keen on her lust for her guardian angel - he's been looking after her since she was about 7/8 so felt a bit weird to me to be developing these feelings for him, especially when he is banned from being romantically involved with any woman. I didn't think much of her investigative skills though. Had it not been for some of the villagers revealing things to her, she would never have solved this mystery.I do have the next 2 books in the series on my Kindle so will be reading them at some point. I would like to see if she gets any better at solving paranormal mysteries! less
