Was she trying to make Agatha more and more unlikeable? One of the rare cases where the show is better than the books.

Can't stop reading this series. I love the characters interactions and the look inside the Costwolds.

The simplicity of the mystery aside, why waste an evening with the terrible main character, Agatha Raisin?

This book had a bit more of a story than the previous ones, Fantastic.

Another wonderful trip with Agatha.
After realising that closing the agency at weekends means she has far too much free time, Agatha is persuaded to try and publicise the local church fete in the name of village relations. And when the organiser is a handsome and charming widower named George Selby, how could Agatha refuse?
All is initially fine, until the discovery that the homemade jam has been poisoned leads to the deaths of two locals. Agatha must uncover the culprit, whilst trying not to fall head over heels for George, who might not be as innocent as he has made out.
I love Agatha, and coming to one of her novels is like a warm hug in a mug that never fails.
