Review: An ok story with not very likable characters

Her writing reminded me a bit of MC Beaton's Agatha Raisin and Hamish MacBeth. None of these people are very nice. I can't figure out why they are friends when they snipe at each other nastily the way they do. It's not even good natured banter. It's just nasty. I don't think it's as well done as MC Beaton. Maybe it's sort of cultural, I couldn't tell you. I know plenty of British folks, my sister lives in England and is married to an Englishman and I read a LOT of British authors so I don't think it's universal to walk around calling your friends an old trout or a cow (tho I do have one English friend who tried to convince me that it's a term of endearment to be called a cow). I am not very likely to read more by this author.
