Loading... Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death (1992)by M. C. Beaton
None.  shanaqui | Apr 9, 2013 |  This is the first in a long line of Agatha Raisin books, and I have to say I'm torn. I loved Agatha- she's a stout, stubborn, unapologetic woman who says whatever is on her mind. However, the book dragged, and my head almost exploded when one of the ways she caught the murderer was going to the library to ask who had checked out the book on poisonous plants recently. And they told her. Yeah, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY, PEOPLE! Have you heard of privacy? I know, I know, getting a subpoena would have ruined the plot of the story, but I just don't think Agatha and I can be friends now. (  ) wwrawson | Mar 31, 2013 | The heroine is not exactly someone you admire, and the mystery plot was not especially clever, but the writing is good and it was fun to follow along on the adventures of the very human Agatha Raisin. There is pleasure in reading about a bumbling sleuth, just as there is a different kind of pleasure in reading about a brilliant one. ( ) theonetruesteph | Mar 30, 2013 | Great light but cute read. (  ) swiddoes01 | Jan 29, 2013 | A fun quick listen for my workout in the pool. I never liked Agatha in print, but found her delightful in the audio format.

Giving up on it even though I haven't got to the end, because I don't care enough to keep details in mind between reads, and just removing the other ones from my books. (
