About this listen

 Agatha goes digging where she shouldn't...

Agatha is taken aback when she finds a new woman ensconced in the affections of her attractive bachelor neighbour, James Lacey. The beautiful Mary Fortune is superior in every way, especially when it comes to gardening - and with Carsely Garden Open Day looming, Agatha feels this deficiency acutely.

So when Mary is discovered murdered, buried upside down in a pot, Agatha seizes the moment and immediately starts yanking up village secrets by their roots and digging the dirt on the hapless victim. But Agatha has an awkward secret too . . .

Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:

'Sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining . . . M. C. Beaton has created a national treature.' Anne Robinson, The Times

'The Miss Marple-like Raisin is a refreshingly sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine.' Booklist©1994 M.C. Beaton Crime Fiction Detective Fiction Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction

I love this series. although they all fit within the genre of "cosy crime" I found the ending of this one rather sad. Penelope Keith great at narrating as usual.

good as always

This is the 3rd book of the series and is once again read by the magnificent Penelope Keith. She has such fantastic comic timing that she imbues the characters with great wit.

This is not the best of the 3 books nevertheless I would recommend it as part of the series.

Another wonderful story with Agatha Raisin
