About this listen

'Every new Agatha Raisin escapade is a total joy' ASHLEY JENSEN

The first Agatha Raisin mystery from bestselling author M. C. Beaton

__________________________

Revenge is a dish best served warm...

High-flying public relations supremo Agatha Raisin has decided to take early retirement. She's off to make a new life in a picture-perfect Cotswold village. To make friends, she enters the local quiche-making competition - and to make quite sure of first prize she secretly pays a visit to a London deli.

Alas, the competition judge succumbs after tasting her perfect quiche, and Agatha is revealed as a cheat and potential poisoner. Definitely not the best start. So Agatha must turn amateur sleuth - she's absolutely got to track down the real killer!

Found this series by accident but very glad I did: amusing & interesting. I was just looking up Penelope Keith to see if she’d recorded any audiobooks, as she has the loveliest English voice to listen to. What listening to this proved is how talented an actress Penelope is. Her characterisations & voices are great. Will definitely continue listening to this series.
