About this listen

 The local ladies all deem Mr John a wizard, so when Agatha finds a few grey hairs on her head - and the rinse she tries at home turns her hair purple - she makes a beeline for the handsome Evesham hairdresser. And as well as sorting out her hair it soon becomes clear the charming man also has designs on her heart - but their future together is cut short when Mr John is fatally poisoned in his salon.

Once again Agatha finds herself embroiled in a murder case. Was it one of Mr John's many customers, all of whom divulged to him their darkest secrets?

Praise for the Agatha Raisin series:

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

'The detective novels of M. C. Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status.' The Times

'Being a cranky, middle-aged female myself, I found Agatha charming!' Amazon customer review

'Agatha Raisin is sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non PC. M C Beaton has created a new national treasure... the stories zing along and are irresistible, unputdownable, a joy. If you buy one book a year, let it be this. Agatha Raisin is The Strongest Link.' Anne Robinson Cosy Crime Fiction Mystery Women Sleuths Heartfelt Magic Users

Just wish she wouldn't use the words "truculent" and "nether regions" quite so often! It's very strange! Haven't found this is any other book so far!

Love these books! But...

This was the first Agatha Raisin book I’ve listened to. Was having a bad weekend and needed something to cheer me up. This was it. So well read by Penelope Keith and she brings the characters to life. Will definitely be adding more titles to my library.

Thoroughly enjoyable

As usual Penelope Keith’s reading of the book was outstanding
MC Beaton produced the goods, once again, as the world of hairdressing gave her the opportunity for some hair raising moments

Full of twists and red herrings
