At home alone for the holidays, Agatha Raisin decides to host a dinner party for the elder residents in her Cotswold village of Winter Parva. Agatha's never been much of a homemaker, but she's dead set on making this the perfect holiday for the 'crumblies', as she affectionately calls them. She's decorated a tree while fending off her cats, Hodge and Boswell, and even made a (lumpy) Christmas pudding in between swigs of rum. But when Agatha dumps the pudding on the head of the local self-proclaimed lothario - an 85-year-old with a beer belly and fingers like sausages - his death by dessert proves more than a trifle as mysteries mount higher than the season's snowfall. So much for trying to do good by her neighbors. Now Agatha needs no less than a Christmas miracle to get herself out of this one.

This is my first encounter with the local detective and it was interesting to hear how it unfolded. One has to be careful of walking sticks!

What a hoot.

I Loved it, especially the novel use of the Christmas Pudding. Classic M C Beaton.

Hilarious

A clever story, deliciously funny with a cast as random as a box Cadbury Favourites. The narrator's performance was stellar. I highly recommend.

An un expected gem..amusing to the end
