Audiobook

Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death is the 7th book in the Agatha Raisin series. Agatha is asked by Roy to do some PR for the Wellspring Water Group. Soon she is enthralled in a murder, but before it can be solved another happens. James has an active part in this book. I was laughing at some of the things she got into. Beaton writes a great cozy series.

The second Agatha Raisin book (#SeriesLove2024). Agatha is quite the character and continues her pursuit of James. I do enjoy Agatha‘s relationship with Bill Wong. He is her friend and as direct with her as she is with everyone.

Agatha Raisin has a few murders to solve, a possible new love interest, and constant conflicting thoughts about a longtime friend. This one is a low pick - I stayed for the characters, who are like friends at this point, but it was definitely more about her life and that of her detectives versus the mystery. Still, a worthy listen for longtime series readers.

This was a bit better than the last book I read in the series…maybe because I got used to the voice narrator! Some of the events that occurred in the previous book carry over in this one, and I like how there has been a bit foreshadowing in the last one and this one as well. Agatha‘s obsessions are becoming slightly annoying at this point - give it up, Agatha! - but I continue to enjoy reading the series. It‘s like comfort food!

Liatrek Love this series but hate when Penelope is not narrating but it‘s my go to comfort audio😊 3mo
Librarybelle @Liatrek I know! Penelope Keith is the best narrator for Agatha Raisin! The series is a perfect comfort audio! 3mo

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!

This was so much better than the previous Agatha Raisin I listened to (and it helps that the regular voice narrator was back!). I laughed out loud at a few spots - anyone who knows Agatha knows she cannot cook, yet she had to sub on a cooking show. Disaster strikes!

Mystery with sinister happenings, along with the usual character complications. Good listen!

Years ago, a former staff member told me she could tell the moment Beaton stopped writing her books (before Beaton passed away). This marks the first one to me that did not quite ring true for Agatha. Or, perhaps it‘s not really mystery-based for its own reasons. Obsession is a big theme in this, and the mystery somewhat gets lost in it. As an audio, because Davina Porter narrates, I kept wondering why Claire Fraser was in the Cotswolds. 😮

Agatha Raisin goes to Turkey on a vacation to find James and make up with him. While there she gets involved in a murder of a British citizen. I got so frustrated with Agatha during this audiobook. I just wanted her to forget him. He treated her so badly. Hopefully, it's the end of them as an item. I hope her and Charles get together. I liked him.

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!

Agatha Raisin and her agency are back with death and disappearances, false identities, and messy love lives. Her stories, though sometimes absolutely bizarre, are a great distraction listen. And hooray that this one is narrated by my favorite of the Agatha Raisin series narrators!
