Agatha Raisin Book #35

Summary

Agatha is on the trail of some thieves who have been stealing from businesses, and who have begun to turn violent. When a local business owner is murdered, and she begins to receive death threats, Agatha becomes angry and even more determined to find justice. 

Meanwhile, Charles convinces her to take over a PR job for his winery, and tries to intrigue her with a 400-year-old mystery. 

My Thoughts

I absolutely adored it. 

The pacing was perfect. The mystery was well plotted. There were abundant clues and red herrings. The settings were magical. Most of all, I loved the characters and the humor. 

In fairness, I have to confess that I have only read 1 other book in the Agatha Raisin series, and that was many years ago. Therefore, my opinion of RW Green’s writing of the series may differ from that of more serious MC Beaton fans. My knowledge of Agatha Raisin comes primarily from having watched and loved the series on Acorn TV, but the writing here does feel consistent with the show.

Now I very much feel the need to go back and read the entire series!

Thanks to NetGalley for the free e ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

My Rating 5/5
