Summary

Agatha Raisin's neighbouring village of Ancombe is usually the epitome of quiet rural charm, but the arrival of a new mineral water company - which intends to tap into the village spring - sends tempers flaring and divides the parish council into two stubborn camps. When Agatha, who happens to be the PR person for the water company, finds the council chairman murdered at the spring, tongues start wagging. Could one of the council members have silenced the chairman before he could cast the deciding vote?

It is up to Agatha, still nursing a bruised heart from her broken engagement, to investigate the councillors, solve the crime - and promote the water company in the face of all this scandal.

Oh My God's

Another tale of the wonderful Agatha voiced superbly with the dulcet tones of Penelope.

Spoilers Darling.....

Enjoyable

Just like the other Agatha Raisin storing, I have read so far, I liked the story and the narration. I am starting to warm up to the Agatha slughtly abrasive character. She is definitely growing on me :)

Just fabulous

I have to admit since purchasing my first Agatha Raisin story I’ve become a little addicted to them. This is my second story and I’ve just purchased a third! Always well written. Not too gory, reminds me of the TV series Murder She Wrote. So well written and interesting. Agatha is a quirky but loveable character. Straight to the point. Her love interests seem to be problematic wherever she goes.

Overall very enjoyable

I do really enjoy this series and I like the character if Agatha a lot.

However there are two things that get repeated and I'm a bit bored of now. The relationship with James, he just seems more and more of a twit who doesn't appreciate her and hasn't grown as a character at all. And the constant thread of her feeling like she doesn't fit in, threatening to move back to London etc. I don't think either of these things need to be kept going, but after having read ahead in the synopsis of the other books at least one of them does, oh well.

Fabulous

Another super installment in the life of Agatha Raisin with a couple of grizzly murders thrown in.

Read brilliantly by the magnificent Penelope Keith.

Another easy listening tape.

Narration by Penelope Keith, as always, was brilliant. She IS Agatha Raisin as far as I am concerned. I did not find the story as good as others in London he collection.

Highly enjoyable light listening

This is not my usual fare. I came across the first 4 novels in a compendium I bought by impulse in a sale. I read and thoroughly enjoyed them as a some holiday reading.



The audiobooks are well enough read by Penelope Keith. Some of the characterisations may be a bit lacking but the story telling is engaging.



As bed time listening they are recommended.
