Agatha Raisin and Kissing Christmas Goodbye by M.C. Beaton

5.0

This was my first venture into an Agatha Raisin book and I loved it! I was aware that I was joining a book series some way in and having never read them before, I thought I might be at a slight disadvantage of not knowing any of the characters however quickly grew to learning them all and getting a feel for all their personalities. It was written in such a way where I didn’t feel like I’d lost out not reading any of the others.

I loved Agatha’s character and quickly grew to respect the fiercely independent women. I loved that we got to read about her thoughts, her insecurities and found her to be very relatable. I really enjoyed the whole story and of course, the murder mystery and whodunnit aspect but also the sprinklings of Christmas within the book.

Now I’ve been thoroughly introduced to the characters, I can’t wait to read more of these books and get to know them more. I’m definitely going to start collecting the rest of this series now!
