Summary
After a lifetime spent in public relations, one-woman dynamo Agatha Raisin struggles to adapt to life in a quiet country village – but she soon finds that there is murder and mayhem aplenty to keep her busy.
Among the cases she has to deal with are a poisoned quiche; a vet who has been ‘put to sleep’; a hanged horticulturist; a murdered rambler and a curate who meets his Maker somewhat sooner than expected. Then there’s the treasure hunt with a rather nasty prize at the end; the secretive salon owner; the husband who is quite definitely ex; the murder on the dancefloor and the fairies at the bottom of the garden.
With all this and handsome neighbour James Lacey to deal with, the ‘Columbo of the Cotswolds’ has her hands full!
This Complete Radio Drama Collection includes the following stories: The Quiche of Death, The Vicious Vet, The Potted Gardener, The Walkers of Dembley, The Curious Curate, The Buried Treasure, The Wizard of Evesham, The Murderous Marriage, The Terrible Tourist and The Fairies of Fryfam.
Critic reviews
"Agatha Raisin - sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-PC." (Anne Robinson)
"If there is one thing better than watching Penelope Keith, it is listening to her." (The Times)

Perfect casting
The characters are really enjoyable and easy to sympathise with even if you have nothing in common with them, making it easy to listen to and still entertaining

Excellent stuff
Having seen the TV shows I was an instant fan. This audio series is very enjoyable. I don't know how faithful the episodes are to the books. I hope eventually to read all the books to find out. I've read a couple of them but none of the ones related to these particular episodes. Penelope Keith is fantastic as Agatha and she seems more like the character in the books than Ashley Jensen's character on TV. I wish they had made more audio episodes.

Lighthearted detective stories
Penelope Keith is far more like the Agatha Raisin in the books than the TV version.
This collection is the dramatisation of the first 10 books. They are light hearted detective books which you can just listen and unwind to without too much thinking.

Just Brilliant!
I thoroughly enjoyed every story, I just wish there were more!! Penelope Keith is Amazing as Agatha Raisin & I just can't get enough of her funny quips & one liners. I also loved the character of James Lacey. All the cast have done a superb job keeping me entertained on my drives to work. Who cares about traffic jam when they have this to listen to... Very well done. Thank you.
