Welcome to Litsy!

This was a big improvement over the last two audiobooks in the Hamish Macbeth series. I still miss the old narrator but I‘m getting used to the new one. I‘d highly recommend this and the Agatha Raisin series to anyone who likes cozy murder mysteries, and the books aren‘t super long. 4⭐️

I love Agatha Raisin! She's a mid-life woman who always ends up in the middle of murder investigations. Agatha has finally married James, who I think is a jerk, but things aren't as happy as she thought they would be married. When James ends up missing and a woman acquitance is murdered, Agatha gets involved to clear James' name. Will Agatha, with the help of Charles, figure out what's really going on.

This was another entry in the Hamish Macbeth series that was just okay to me. I‘m hoping it picks back up again in the next few books, but overall I still really enjoy this series. 3.5 ⭐️

I would highly recommend the Hamish Macbeth series for anyone who likes cozy mysteries, and the audiobooks are the way to go. The more you read the more you feel like a part of the village of Lochdubh. There are multiple murders in this one and I like the unorthodox ways that Hamish solves crimes. It‘s a fun way to visit Scotland without leaving your home! 4⭐️ #HamishMacbeth #MCBeaton #murdermysteries #cozymysteries #audiobook #Scotland

Book 12 of the Hamish Macbeth series is another pick for me. The first couple of books were just okay to me, but the deeper I get into the series the more I like it. M.C. Beaton is the best! I also really enjoy the narrator for this series. 4⭐️ #audiobook #cozymystery #HamishMacbeth #MCBeaton #murdermystery

I just didn't care for this one very much.
I got tired of hearing her pine for James Lacey. I wish they would get married, or Beaton would move on from him. I listened to this one, and the same narrator read it, that has read the others, so I don't know why it didn't work for me, but it didn't.

Agatha Raisin has fled to the seaside town of Wyckhadden because she lost all her hair. She stays at an inn filled with old residents. She's told about a Witch that could help her hair. Soon, she's embodied in another mystery.

Agatha Raisin's books always brighten my day. I laugh out loud at some of the antics she gets into. I can't help but like her. A great cozy mystery series to read.or listen too.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

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

Oh Agatha! While this one also focuses a lot on Agatha‘s love life rather than the mystery, I didn‘t find it as disruptive as the last one, perhaps because she and a regular character are both wishy-washy over their futures - to propose or not to propose…

Sinister secrets and grizzly murders abound in this series addition, featuring a less-than-holy bishop and a bunch of church bell ringers, plus an abusive vicar. #BBRC #Adult #TakesTwoToTango

This one was almost a pan…while there are some mysterious elements, the focus on Agatha‘s lack of a sex life, not to mention her practically bullying a victim of rape to tell her story, was not quite right. I know this is one of the last books written by Beaton, who passed away a few years ago.

So disappointing!
