I love Agatha Raisin! The plot and mystery were more intriguing than some of the other books. Located primarily in her Cotswolds village and several of the original characters were present. Another new handsome “bachelor” moved in next door (how many hot men are going to end up staying in that cottage?), whom of course Agatha is obsessed over. She’s up to her usual cheeky tricks, though was a bit more excessively fearful at times than usual. The author also has her change her clothes and reapply her makeup at least a dozen times throughout the book (I can hear about it 2-3 times, but any more than that gets really annoying). A few continuity errors from her last book. But overall the plot was more interesting. Audio narrator fantastic as always!
