I liked this, but not quite as well as most of the rest of the series. I can't really put my finger on why. This is probably the only entry that I read rather than listened to, so maybe that affected my enjoyment. The pace seemed a bit frantic. I love Agatha and Charles and all of the rest of the regulars though!
Agatha at her best stumbling about solving murders. Easy read on a bank holiday weekend.

Lots of plot holes in this one. Still a fun ride with Aggie and friends as always.

Quite enjoyed this one. Good plot, decent pacing and Agatha was surprisingly competent and thoughtful. Also not too saccharine for a Christmas themed one.

Poor Agatha. She attempts a Christmas holiday abroad in the sun that turns into a lonely waste of time with most of the restaurants and other attractions listed in the guidebook closed for the holiday. She returns home to a Ladies' Society meeting held at a dreary neighboring village vicarage only to witness the grisly murder of Mr. Sunday, the most obnoxious health and safety inspector in all of England. He was a bully and everyone hated him which makes everyone a suspect in his murder. He found reasons to basically remove all holiday displays under his jurisdiction due to "health and safety concerns." Plus Agatha is having issues within her agency, she's a victim of some very bad press, and her love life is nonexistent. Mayhap she should have stayed away during Christmas!
This is a fun Agatha Raisin mystery. The middle-aged sleuth is more sassy than ever, and she doesn't allow the press, personal tragedy, and tight-lipped villagers get her down. She and her team chase leads and suspects, and the conclusion of this mystery is a shocking thriller. I highly recommend Agatha Raisin and the Busy Body if you enjoy cozy mysteries with a Christmas theme.

Jumped into this series randomly. It wasn’t bad. I mostly enjoyed it. But it wasn’t very christmasy. Womp womp.
