Very Well used language! It kept me busy imagining the situations the character were in. As always Agatha Raisin interests her readers... MC Beaton is one of the best writers one can read the works of.

Review - I still love Agatha, no matter how much her love life annoys me at times. James is still as annoying as ever, and so is Roy, although Charles is also starting to get on my wick. I think one of my favourite characters is Mrs Bloxby as she always manages to add a bit of sanity. This is another one where I thought there were too many suspects, and I always feel that it is these ones which are my least favourites. However, I do enjoy how Agatha always seems to find herself in scrapes and yet never gets the credit for catching the killer. It is a bit unbelievable that so many murders happen in her vicinity!
