Agatha Raisin: The Quiche of Death and the Vicious Vet (Dramatisation) Audiobook

" A highly enjoyable, quintessentially English, easy to read detective murder/mystery with cosy humour. "

" Sometimes the right book comes at the right time. A very easy read, it's a cozy mystery that was just light enough for the last week of summer vacation. The first in the Agatha Raisin series, I enjoyed meeting the characters and look forward to more cozy mysteries involving them. Not a realistic thriller, just a little light murder reading! "

" Love Agatha and her entourage - could read the whole series in one go and await each one eagerly. Easy reading "

" I enjoyed this book! Agatha Raisin is curmudgeonly yet truly likable, and I loved the setting, plot, secondary characters, and more. Good little read. "

" I had low expectations for this book and was quite pleasantly surprised. The main character was fascinating in that she was likeably horrible and she varied between suffering from ridiculous self-delusion and moments of clarity. "

" fun cozy mystery. Set in England. "

" Quite a fun first book in the series, and really well read by Penelope Keith. I read this book several years ago, but knowing the story didn't dim my enjoyment of this at all. "

" Agatha Raisin is an older retired career woman who has a spunky personality. She's retired to a small English village where people seem to die in mysterious ways, and Agatha solves the murders. "

" Great literature it is not but decidedly a better cozy mystery. Fiftyish slightly asocial businesswoman moves to the country and stumbles on murder at every turn after a long and uneventful career in PR in London. Lack of domestic skills propels the story and provides comic relief. "

" Agatha Raisin is a delightful character -- witty, sarcastic and heroic, she stumbles into solving a murder in this first book in the series. A great read! "

" Highly amusing! Good holiday read "

" A fun read. Makes me want to rent a cottage in the Cotswolds! "

" Super corny... I only got through the first 50 pages or so. "

" Not as good as the Hamish Macbeth series. Still good light reading that is fun to boot. I've read them all and only slowing due to no new ones. "

" I had read this book years ago before I learned to love cozies. Reading it again was like reading it for this first time. I will now read the rest of the series "

" A really enjoyable read, a good mystery story. This is the first in the Agatha Raisin series and I will definitely be reading more. "

" Agatha Raison reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket of "Keeping Up Appearances". A retired single woman becomes a sleuth solving murders in a tiny village in the Cotswold in England. A quick, fun read. "

" The first Agatha Raisin mystery. A more modern day Miss Marple. "

" Found this a nice easy read about crime solving. Will read the other books in the series. "

" Have read numerous of these books from my local library.. "

" I enjoyed Agatha Raisin. Good premise for a mystery. Good book. I'll read some more in this series. "

" I want to read more of these. I love finding a new series of books/mysteries. "

" I really didn't like the main character, although the story was entertaining. "

" I consider MC Beaton novels a not-so 'dirty little secret' of mine. I enjoy them on occasion when I don't want to read anything heavy. I do not find them as well written as I like, but the story line is generally good, with a bit of humour mixed in for fun. "

" I've been hoping for a light/cozy mystery series to sink myself into & now I think Afatha Raisin might be it. Hooray! "

" What a great book, light and good fun. Get a copy and take it to the beach! "

" A cute mystery with plenty of colorful characters set in rural England. I found that I could both feel pity for and love Agatha Raisin. "

" Absolutely love Agatha Raisin! She is positively delightful, the perfect unlikely detective. "

" I loved MC Beaton's Hamish Macbeth mysteries, and I found this at my local used bookstore. It's ok, but Agatha is NOT someone I'd ever want to know in real life. She irritates me, so I'm not sure how many of these books I'll read. "

" I have just started reading M.C.Beaton's series on Agatha Raisin and love them. "

" Funny. Sarcastic. Unforgettable. An audio collection of Agatha Raisin made a four hour road trip a laughing pleasure. "

" Agatha Raisin reminds me of my Mum. This might be because she loves these books, or it might be because every slightly quirky character over the age of 50 reminds me of my Mum either way this was a fun and easy read and I'm looking forward to book 2. "

" Agatha Raisin is a very unusual heroine. She reminds me of Doc Martin, intelligent and offensive all at once. Not really intending to alienate, but insensitive to the feelings and needs of others. "

" Time spent with Agatha Raisin is always a pleasure. Her flaws and foibles make her really appealing. "

" Another great book in this series. I love Agatha Raisin. "

" You can't beat MC Beaton for a good 'snack' of a book, they're all good, if fairly light reading. "

" Fun little cozy. Very similar to Mrs. Pollifax. I am interested in reading more Agatha Raisin. "
