Light pick, and while there have been other books with some graphic-for-cozy mysteries, this one has some pretty graphic happenings, including a death and body disposal that is really intense. Light pick because of a different voice narrator again…oh well!

Another fun #audiobook is complete! I‘ve said it so many times, but I really do love Agatha and she is my constant companion while doing chores around the house. I‘m almost to the end of the series. The author unfortunately passed away not that long ago, but I was happy to discover recently that she chose someone to continue writing the series after her death. As always, I‘d highly recommend this series. It‘s also available on Audible Plus! 4⭐️

Librariana Fingers crossed that whoever comes along to continue the series does it justice 😊💜📚 3y

Another entertaining read in the series. As always a number of amusing incidents and Agatha put her at risk on a number of occasions. Not the best one in the series but still very enjoyable.

Sarah83 Are you flying through the books?🤗 6y
Andrew65 Yes been a productive November so far, finished 13 books so far, with 4 books on the go (2 of which are buddy reads). Although have been some short books in there. Still need to write 2 or 3 reviews. 6y
Sarah83 Wow. I don't manage to read so much. 🙄 6y

Andrew65 @Sarah83 We deliberately cut out the TV as not giving us as much enjoyment as books, helps that my wife is as voracious a reader as I am. Also use audiobooks for the commute, extra 2hrs 20 minutes reading on a good day, and for times when too tired to physically read books without falling asleep. I never used to read anywhere near as much as now. 6y
Sarah83 I try to catch 100 books this year. This would be already a highlight for me. 😉 6y
Andrew65 @Sarah83 That is a great total! 6y
Sarah83 I need ten more books. This won't be easy. 🙄 November and December are the months, I have to work longer means less reading time. 🤔 6y
Andrew65 @Sarah83 You'll have to pick a few shorter or quicker, easier reads. 6y
Sarah83 I should read in German. That might be faster aswell. I have to read a nonfiction book for #litsyatoz, that will grab some time. 6y
Andrew65 @Sarah83 I can imagine it would be quicker in German. I admire that you can read in English, puts me to shame. 🙌 6y
Sarah83 As I said, in Germany we learn English at school, so it is easier for me to read in English, than for you to read in German. 😉 6y
Andrew65 @Sarah83 For some reason French and Spanish are more the norm in English schools than German. 6y
Sarah83 German isn't an easy language to learn. Maybe. But French and Spanish are definitely more useful 6y

Just started listening to the 25th book in the Agatha Raisin Series.

SassyBookworm This series looks interesting! I‘m gonna have to check it out! 6y
Andrew65 @Chrysta23 I would also recommend the Hamish Macbeth Series by her, very quick, light and entertaining reads. 6y

Well that's the last one I read for a while. Agatha let me down in this one. Far too man crazy!!! However a light fluffy read.
