About this listen

 No wonder she's been crowned Queen of Cosy Crime' Mail on Sunday

He was a vicar to die for - and he did!

Agatha is going through a man-hating phase and so is unmoved by news of the captivating new curate. But when she meets the golden-haired, blue-eyed Tristan Delon, she is swept off her feet . . . along with every other female in the village. She is positively ecstatic when he invites her to dine with him but the next day Agatha is left with a hangover from hell - and his cold corpse suggests that, once again, she's in the frame for murder!


Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:

'Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non-PC, M.C. Beaton has created a national treasure' Anne Robinson

'M.C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' Publishers Weekly

'The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshing, sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine' Booklist Crime Fiction Mystery Women Sleuths Crime

Penelopy Keith brings Agatha raisin to life and the way she changes character for the other parts is really lovely. I enjoy these books very much as they are a nice easy read in-between the heavier books I read. very enjoyable and light.

I love Agatha Raisin books and have listened to the. all over and over again. Penelope Keith is so good at reading them and my favourites are the dramatised versions with a full cast.
Such a shame and great loss that MC Beaton has now passed away I hope they will continue with Agatha stories and her detective agency there must be some exceptional talent out there who can do the stories justice and please let Penelope read them her voice is Agatha Raisin.

Can’t get enough
