About this listen

Private Detective Agatha Raisin immerses herself in the glittering lifestyle of the fabulously wealthy when Sir Charles Fraith is accused of murder - and Agatha is named as his accomplice!

A high-society wedding, a glitzy masked ball and an introduction to the world of international show-jumping, where the riders are glamorous, the horses are beautiful and intrigue runs deep, leave Agatha with a list of suspects as long as a stallion's tail.

Sinister evidence then emerges that appears to seal Sir Charles' fate, and Agatha must uncover the truth before a net of skulduggery closes around him and he loses his ancestral home, his entire estate and his freedom. And if events weren't complicated enough, Agatha's ex-husband, James Lacey, is back in Carsely and back in Agatha's heart....

I loved the whole production of this audio tape. I will certainly listen to more of Agatha Raisin books.

I'm a big fan of Agatha Raisin and her friends. I was disappointed in the significant changes in the characters, relationships and individual habits and quirks of characters. Her abrasiveness and high morals are lacking in this book. James is always cold and aloof, even when he's interested in Agatha. I feel like my familiar old friends have been dumbed down and changed to attract a totally different audience from Marion Chesney's original intent. I understand it can't be easy writing on behalf of another author, but little details like who calls her Aggie, Agatha and Sweetie should be pretty straight forward to get right, and she never refers to people and cats as "guys". It just felt like a totally different series. I did want to find out who the killer was, however even that was a bit disappointing. Too many perpetrators made it a bit messy. I will forget about this book and try to keep my favourite characters alive in my memory instead. Good attempt, but it missed the mark for me.

Too many changes

I had to make myself finish this. The best thing about it is Penelope Keith.

She’s ok Agatha that is.

At one stage they confused the character names in a conversation. Character arcs did not fit with the rest of the series.

I’m sure the author tried their best but not as successful
