Agatha Raisin: As The Pig Turns
Agatha Raisin: As The Pig Turns | M.C. Beaton
8 posts | 22 read | 7 to read
Winter Parva, a traditional Cotswolds village next door to Carsely, has decided to throw a celebratory hog roast to mark the beginning of the winter holiday festivities and Agatha Raisin has arrived with friend and rival in the sleuthing business, Toni, to enjoy the merriment. But as the spit pig is carried towards the bed of fiery charcoal Agatha - and the rest of the village - realise that things aren't as they seem... Very quickly it transpires that the spit pig is in fact Gary Beech, a policeman not much loved in Winter Parva. And although Agatha has every intention of leaving the affair to the police, she rapidly changes her mind when she finds out Gary's ex-wife has hired Toni to investigate. Cantankerous and competitive as Agatha is, she has to now join the fray and try and solve the case herself! Praise for M C Beaton's Agatha Raisin series: I know I once vowed to read only Agatha Christie for a year but I cheated. My No. 1 mistress, M.C. Beaton and her Agatha Raisin whodunits. Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, a pack a day habit and major man lust. In fact, I think she may be living my dream life. Entertainment Weekly. Once again M. C. Beaton has concocted an amusing brew of mystery and romance that will keep her fans turning the pages. Publisher's Weekly. Pure entertainment. The Guardian.

This one seemed to me more about Agatha Raisin‘s shenanigans and less about the mystery, though it was still quite enjoyable. The discovery of the body is a bit gruesome, but fortunately for us Agatha wants to find out what happened. Agatha is in turns maddening and hilarious. Penelope Keith‘s narration is so much fun to listen to!

I quite enjoyed book 22 in the Agatha Raisin series via audiobook. I really don‘t know what I‘m going to do with myself once I hit the end of the series! Some reviews on goodreads tend to see Agatha as not very likable, but I disagree. She‘s a different sort of heroine than we see in most murder mysteries, and her flaws ring true and make her much more relatable, at least imo. I can‘t recommend this series enough! 4⭐️

I honestly thought i wasn't going to enjoy this book as much as the other Agatha Raisin books but i was surpised that i enjoyed it a lot more than expected!
The way the murder was done and the body was found had to be one of the most creative ideas M.C Beaton had!
Fantastic!
