" Agatha and her life in the village ia always a fun read. This was no exception "
" This is the best so far! "
" listening to this via Overdrive for iTouch---love Agatha! "
" Good story but seems to have finished up a bit too quick. The suspect just gives up and they don't really look for much evidence to prove him the killer. The method of death is clever. "
" So far I'm enjoying listening to this cozy mystery series. Agatha can be annoying as all get out, but makes for a nice interlude between other types of reading or listening. Sort of a palette cleanser. "
" I really enjoy these books. They are a light relief. I particularly enjoyed the characters in this one and found it quite amusing. Good Boxing Day read! "
" The murder was a little over the top, but I still like Agatha and will keep reading. "
" Sinister and funny and a nice development in the characters that return in this installment. "
" I've read most of the Hamish Macbeth mysteries by Beaton but not many Agatha Raisin. I found this in my bookstores used book section. Ok mystery, but Agatha bugs me some of the time. I have another to read sometime. "
" ok for my first agatha raisin "
" fun mystery - lots of twists and clues! "
" Light entertaining reading. You may have to read the entire book though... :) "
" Felt like the story line in this one was a bit far fetched. However, I will continue with this series. "
