Summary

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 . . .

Cheesy, but in a good way!

Only discovered Agatha last week whilst browsing in the "Deals", wanting something to fill in before my next credit applied. I've now listened to the first three books in the series and am addicted! So very easy to listen too. Witty and well read. The stories are so cheesy they are delightful!

Love the series

Wonderful as always, a far cry from every day life and just delightful escapism in the not sure tranquil Cotswold countryside. Excellent transition in-between other terrific but challenging books. I'm gradually making my way through the series as I'm late to this very British party!

Very entertaining

Really enjoyed this book! Kept guessing almost to the end! Love the relationship between James and Agatha. Some really funny moments when I laughed out loud. Easy listening suitable for middle age onwards!

Easy listening

Penelope Keith is fabulous as this pleasant story ticks along. It won't ever be a contender for the Booker prize but it is an easy listen during the commute to work.

Agatha being Agatha

Great little tale of village life & its somewhat dark side. It's obvious who the 1 perp is but the mystery is the twist.
