Özet
 'Every new Agatha Raisin escapade is a total joy' ASHLEY JENSEN

'No wonder she's been crowned Queen of Cosy Crime' MAIL ON SUNDAY

'A Beaton novel is like The Archers on speed' DAILY MAIL

The latest Agatha Raisin mystery from bestselling author M. C. Beaton

The team of bells at St. Ethelred church is the pride and glory of the idyllic Cotswolds village of Thirk Magna, together with the most dedicated bell ringers in the whole of England: the twins Mavis and Millicent Dupin.

As the village gets ready for the Bishop's visit, the twins get overly-excited at the prospect of ringing the special peal of bells created for the occasion and start bullying the other bell ringers, forcing them to rehearse and rehearse . . . so much so that Joseph Kennell, a retired lawyer, yells at the sisters that he 'felt like killing them'!

When the twins' home is broken into one night and Millicent is found dead, struck from a hammer blow, suspicion falls onto the lawyer.

Will Agatha unmask the real killer and clear Joseph's name?

I usually love the AR series but found this story a bit irritating with a focus on soppy story lines and losing the murder plot in the tangles. Ok but not one of the best.

Bit muddled

Another classic by M C Beaton, the ups and downs of Agatha Raisin and her life as a detective in the Cotswolds, murder, dispersing women, love and a few laughs along the way.

I've waited in anticipation for this the latest in the Agatha Raisin mysteries... but I'm disappointed. The tone of M.C.'s writing and the tone of Penelope Kieth's narration have changed in this lastest adventure. And not for the better. There's more vitriol from the characters than ever: and gone are the glimpses of Agatha's nature which makes us soften our attitude to her overtly brittle personality. The voice characterisations of Mrs. Bloxby the vicars wife: in some novels called 'Sarah' and in others appears to be called 'Margaret: and of Sir Charles Fraith, Roy Silver and Agatha herself don't match those of the previous dramatisations. They're off kilter. Because of M.C. Beaton's seniority Agatha might soon be permenantly retired, therefore I'm hoping that with repeated listenings I'll get to like this title more than I do after the first listen.

Always a twist in the story keeps you interested the main characters have been developed since the first books

Very familiar but very entertaining

Having read and/or listened to the 28 previous adventures of Agatha Raisin, I found this story to be quite a disappointment. As other reviewers have commented, this storyline seemed to jump all over the place & was sillier than usual - Agatha’s “affair with Terry” only seemed to be one evening with him but she was ‘really in love for the first time’; her rushing off to Thailand & Bulgaria. Even Penelope Keith’s usually excellent narrating couldn’t quite save this story.

I hope the final 2 books in the Agatha Raisin series are an improvement.

Rather disappointed - Spoilers
