A review by heid_rth
Agatha Raisin and the Dead Ringer by M.C. Beaton

4.0

I really enjoyed this book! I'm a big fan of the TV show but I'd never read the books. I did think it was funny how in the TV show Agatha is a very nice person and yet in the books she's horrible. I found this book really gripping - I couldn't put it down - and I love M.C. Beaton's writing style. The plot is so clever and quite complicated with all of the intricate characters and yet still easy to read.

However, I did think there were a few unanswered questions by the end of the book. For example, when the bishop went to Thailand all those years ago, what actually happened? Also, when the bishop fled to Thailand near the end of the book he wasn't mentioned again which was strange because he was such a main character. I felt like it was an abrupt ending to that particularly plotline and the whole ending of the book felt kind of rushed. This is why I gave it 4 stars.

I did really love this book and I would definitely read it again and 100% recommend.
