Query: Best one of the lot

I read several in this series and was somewhat disappointed because of the tawdry behavior of the heroine. In comparison, this very first one has been a real pleasure to read. It has some genuinely funny places and Agatha comes across as endearing and someone you would really enjoy getting to know. She is a modern Miss Marple. Just what I had been hoping for in this series but had not gotten until now.
