A lucky grab. I laughed all the way from Orem, UT to Albuquerque, NM. The best thing was the narrator, Penelope Keith, the perfect voice for this book.

Beloved author M. C. Beaton has delighted readers and fans alike with her Agatha Raisin mysteries. The Quiche of Death and The Vicious Vet, the first two books in the series, are now together for the first time in one volume.
Great series start. Love Good Ol' Agatha.

I love this imperfect heroine. She's the worst--*and* the best!
The mysteries were okay but they were overshadowed by Agatha being an asshole and a women hater. Throwing around words like s**t and b***h at every minor inconvenience or moment of jealousy and blaming other women for her (relative) misery and the consequences of her own actions. She's a total pick me. I was surprised to find out M.C. Beaton was a woman but I guess it makes sense for the time the book was written. I've read a few other books in different genres published then that have similar female characters. The few times I want to sympathize or empathize with Agatha are almost completely over shadowed by her behavior in the following pages.
Picked this up because how can a book called “The Quiche of Death” not be awesome? Agatha is a fun, witty retiree in a cute English town who thinks circles around the local detectives.
I gave 4 stars because I got bogged down in the plot of “The Vicious Vet.” It wasn’t as breezy and ridiculously fun as “The Quiche.”

I don't know how I feel about Agatha Raisin, but I certainly like these books.
I enjoyed this BBC radio play, mainly because of Penelope Keith. Don't feel the need to keep reading (or listening), though.
