Summary

He was a hairdresser to dye for... 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 budding romance 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 lady clients, all of whom divulged to him their darkest secrets? It's time for Agatha to get to the root of this hair-raising mystery!

Another good M. C. Beaton.

Agatha Raisin is as always.... good. So is Penelope Keith reading the story. I cannot imagine anyone else doing the dialogue. Agatha reminds me of myself.

Love these books! But...

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!

Penelope Keith brings these books to life

Chewing gum for the ears that is delivered beautifully by Ms Keith in an elegant manner that I can never get tired of listening too.

Never look at hairdressers in the same way again.

Never a dull moment and consistently brilliant in writing and performance. Sir Charles really is becoming quite a character in this book and becomes more than a match for Agatha.

Agatha Raisin Rules

Another fantastic Agatha Raisin take read by a talented narrator. No matter what she’s up to, Agatha always finds a murder and it’s always an enjoyable trip for us too.
