Summary
Allotment wars! Lord Bellingham, Carsely's biggest landholder, has enraged locals by saying he is going to sell off their allotments to make way for a new housing development. So when he turns up dead, poisoned by antifreeze, nobody mourns his passing.
On another fine summer's day, Agatha visits Carsley's allotments, where everything looks peaceful and perfect: people of all ages digging in the soil and working hard to grow their own fruit and veg. Agatha feels almost tempted to take on a strip herself...but common sense soon prevails. She doesn't really like getting her hands dirty.
She is introduced to three old-timers who have just taken over a new strip; Harry Perry, Bunty Daventry and Josephine Merriweather are lamenting the neglected condition of the patch. But as Harry starts to shovel through the weeds and grass, his spade comes across something hard, so he bends down and tries to move the object. And then he starts to yell....
The body is that of Peta Currie, a newcomer to the village - but who would want to murder her? Blonde and beautiful, she's every local male's favourite. And then Lord Bellingham's son engages Agatha to do some digging of her own, and very soon Agatha is thrown into a world of petty feuds, jealousies and disputes over land. It would seem that far from being tiny Gardens of Eden, Carsley's allotments are local battlefields where passions - and the body count - run high!

A. Light hearted tale typical of Agatha Raisin
Highly recommend. Penelope K really engages you making what could be a very dull story really interesting.

It was good but not one of my favourites
Where does Agatha Raisin: Pushing Up Daisies rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Not as good as some of her others.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Lots of characters but too many murders. Knew the murderer from the start.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Trying to be set up on a drink driving charge. Nice touch.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not really. But could have.
Any additional comments?
Penelope Keith is such a great narrator. Lovely voice and did all the voices perfectly.

Convoluted
A great easy listen as usual and beautifully read by Penelope Keith. But very convoluted this time.

Loved every minute
Penelope Keith just brings these stories to life as only she can - perfect. Nice gentle stories of murder and intrigue with a good dollop of humour to top it.

Exasperating
Pathetic plot, so dated and ridiculous. Not even amusing. Why did on earth did Keith do it?
