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

3.0

Review - I was quite disappointed by this story in the Agatha Raisin series. I still really enjoyed reading it, but it wasn't up to the usual standard of M.C. Beaton I thought. Maybe it's time for Agatha to just marry Charles Fraith and retire? It was hinted at so much through this story but failed to deliver in the end. Some of my favourite supporting characters had noticeably smaller roles in this story, such as Bill Wong, which didn't really help matters either. I hope Beaton can recapture some of the joy and comedy from earlier novels in the series in her next book in the series.
