Agatha Raisin and the Fairies of Fryfam by M.C. Beaton

3.0

The tenth Agatha Raisin cosy murder mystery takes us to the village of Fryfam where Agatha has rented a cottage on the advice of a fortune teller. With strange lights at the bottom of the garden, which the locals claim to be faeries, a burglary, and a murder Agatha soon finds that she has her hands full. This was a really nice addition to the series and probably one of the better instalments. I am beginning to miss the Carsley crowd, but a new location does give us a fresh cast of characters, or should I say supects. The pacing was lovely, and the book was nice and short. I've noticed as I've read this series that the less James Lacey is in the book the more I like it. James Lacey is barely in the book at all, give or take a couple of paragraphs from his POV, and that was just right for me. Unfortunately, in the next book he will be playing a bigger role and that makes me very nervous.
