This book renewed my affection for Agatha Raisin. I love vicariously travelling to the Cotswold with Agatha to meet the locals and unravel the crimes. And when mayhem is caused at a local village fair when the jam tasting is spiked with LSD, I was thoroughly hooked to find out more. 

Whilst it can be hard for the series to feel original 19 books in, I feel this book really returned to the root of what makes the series so enjoyable.
