A Spoonful of Poison by M.C. Beaton

4.0

When I picked up the first book in the series a year ago I never thought I'd love it so much I'd be on book 19 by now....
I've just read three of the books in the series in a row, so I must admit they slightly blend together.... The author even enjoys using the same names, in all three of the books there were different Jimmy's, different Georges, and in two of the the books there Were Phyllises; I'd venture to guess there is a Jimmy in every single book, not to mention that Agatha's ex-husband was named Jimmy, and her on again off again love interest is named James(She was actually married to him at some point).... this book had Agatha on the case, a little different this time somebody put LSD in the jam.... Tony is still around, still such a great addition to the series, and Agatha does seem to get a little jealous because Tony is younger and of course more photogenic..... and now James is getting remarried, of course to a much younger woman, Agatha is just going through a crisis now.... always fun to spend time with all of these characters....
*** there is also a Trixie in this book and the following book, just adding to the name list :-)
