Welcome to Litsy!

I stumbled upon the short story that looks at Agatha‘s first case, way before she moves to the Cotswolds. It was okay. Short stories are hard for me, as I much prefer the development from a novel, but it was an interesting intro to Agatha Raisin. The audio is not a Penelope Keith audio, so I really missed her narration of this. #BBRC #Adult #LongStoryShort #52BookClub24 #AnApostropheInTheTitle

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 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 enjoyed this short read of Agatha Raisin‘s first case after opening her own agency. i haven‘t read any other Agatha Raisin books before. i am going to go back and start from the first of the series.
this book had good characters. Agatha is a real pistol.

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!

Another fun instalment in the Agatha Raisin series. I missed our friends in Carsely but it was fun to meet a new cast of quirky characters.

Book 8/9 for #OutstandingOctober (and I only missed my goal by about 200 pages after getting sidelined with a migraine most of yesterday afternoon!!)

Agatha decides to go on holiday with James (why is beyond me, but I digress), and after getting into a verbal dispute with a hotel guest, is accused of the woman‘s murder. Needless to say, Agatha must prove her innocence. I like the addition of to the cast of characters, as it has helped keep the series fresh. Another good listen!

When an arrow hits a body of a local landowner in the woods, Agatha is convinced the man was murdered. DCI Wilkes believes that Agatha is the prime suspect. Determined to find the real killer Agatha launches her own investigation. This is a lovely cozy mystery and a real fun read. It also has some humor that kept me reading until the very end.

Agatha and her neighbor decide to investigate a supposed haunted house. As usual, Agatha got a bit more than she bargained for in this escapade. History and murder play a role, as Agatha continues to try and figure out her love life. Poor Agatha! Another fun listen.

Another fun story in the series! When the new curate seems a bit more popular than the vicar, and then winds up dead, Agatha has to clear the name of Mrs Bloxby and her vicar husband. Lies and deception play a special role, and Agatha also learns a bit about her neighbors and herself.
