I swear, if stupid James tries to get back together with Agatha after this book, I will Riot. A small contained riot in my own home....but still.
I listened to the audio version of the novel using the Libby app.
Sometimes you just need a dose of over-the-top Ms Agatha Raisin. This is a series I love coming back to, and I know I can jump in and read any book in the series and still love it. I also enjoy how different life is for Agatha Raisin and the start and end of this series. She has gone from PR snoop to a professional detective with employees (and still such a snoop). Her propensity to quickly fall in and out of love with men and be easily insulted never does change, which endears her to me even more.
In this installment, an obnoxious outsider who is determined to ruin everyone's fun has been murdered and not many people are upset. Agatha herself goes through stages of nonchalance about finding the murder, but also wants to be the one who solves it all and makes a new appearance. I really enjoyed getting to know the side characters more in the story. This storyline kind of bumbles every which way for a while; enough so that I had absolutely no idea who the real murderer was by the end. It could be anyone and no-one and I think the author did a marvelous job of keeping us confused. I liked the ending very much (all in very typical Agatha style) and I can't wait to read more in this cozy series.

Another great read in the series. I literally laughed out loud at the end.

Busy Body is the next book for me in the Agatha Raisin series. In this one, a PITA Health and Safety officer meets an untimely demise. The chief suspect hires Agatha’s agency to clear her name. Meanwhile Agatha takes on a new detective, Simon, who partners up with Toni to help solve the case. Agatha’s team ends up putting themselves in danger to solve the crime. Appearances from series regulars, Charles, James, and Roy Silver add fun to the story. A fun installment in the series.
Another wonderful addition to the series. Agatha is up to her old tricks again, and I'm loving the use of all the supporting characters! Can't wait for the next one!
