Product Description

Book Description

The 19th outing for Agatha Raisin, which will be a must have for her numerous fans


Product Description

Cranky but lovable sleuth Agatha Raisin’s detective agency has become so successful that she wants nothing more than to take quality time for rest and relaxation. But as soon as she begins closing the agency on weekends, she remembers that when she has plenty of quality time, she doesn’t know what to do with it. So it doesn’t take much for the vicar of a nearby village to persuade her to help publicize the church fete - especially when the fair’s organizer, George Selby, turns out to be a gorgeous widower. Agatha brings out the crowds for the fete, all right, but there’s more going on than innocent village fun. Several of the offerings in the jam-tasting booth turn out to be spiked with LSD, and the festive family event becomes the scene of two murders. Along with her young and (much to her dismay) pretty sidekick, Toni, Agatha must uncover the truth behind the jam tampering, keep the church funds safe from theft, and expose the nasty secrets lurking in the village - all while falling for handsome George, who may have secrets of his own. Reviews for the Agatha Raisin series: "Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-pc, M.C. Beaton has created a national treasure" Anne Robinson "M.C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem" Publisher's Weekly. "The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine." Booklist

5.0 out of 5 stars The usual suspects, 14 Sep 2008
By Damaskcat (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Agatha Raisin is asked to publicise a village fete by her friend Mrs Bloxby. Before long she has taken on the task with her usual enthusiasm and the village of Comfrey Magna is inundated with reporters when a well known star is persuaded to open proceedings. Everything is going well until someone jumps to their death from the church tower. Agatha feels responsible and sets out to investigate ably assisted by staff from her detective agency. As ever this is a fast paced and intriguing mystery with a far from perfect heroine who is all the more endearing for her very human faults. I thoroughly enjoyed it and read it in less than 24 hours. If you want an intriguing mystery without an overload of violence this could be one to try. The product description above isn't correct - neither is the cover blurb on the copy I have.

5.0 out of 5 stars another Agatha Raisin, 30 May 2009
By Mrs. R. A. Ali "Rose yenge" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Agatha Raisin and a Spoonful of Poison (Paperback)
No matter how many of these books I read each one is different. I change between feeling sorry for/cross with/cross on behalf of and exultant for Agatha. I could shoot James, shake Sir Charles, kick Roy and take Mrs Bloxby home. Another book to be read,enjoyed, put away and read agin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Agatha Raisin & a Spoonful of Poison, 7 Jun 2009
By R. Knight "Bookworm" (Gloucester England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Agatha Raisin and a Spoonful of Poison (Paperback)
Another good read from the Agatha Raisin series, this time finds Agatha being asked to promote a local village fete in order to raise money for repairs to the church. She inevitably falls for the wrong man again and gets involved in solving another mysterious murder. Light, funny witty and very unputdownable with an ending that leaves you wanting to know more. I cannot wait for the next book.
