This outing flows along like most of the Agatha Raisin books, although this time Agatha and her neighbour (and possibly love-interest) James Lacey team up and move temporarily to a village to solve a murder pretending to be a married couple. Romance is in the air in more ways than one, and the end of this book set up an interest question for the next book to come. (

Oh dear oh dear.. never mind all the deceased victims! What on Earth will happen with Agatha and James?? :)

These are great fun, although this one seemed a tiny, tiny bit ... hmmm.. maybe it dragged just a teensy bit? But like all good cozies, it is fun scrambling to get a step or two ahead of the plot in knowing who the villain is, plus the author getting us there fair and square. On to the next!! (Soon. I have a couple of other things in my TBR pile first). (

I enjoyed this as much as the others - they are done really well on audio by Penelope Keith - they are my go to night time listening right now. I enjoy the mysteries that transpire during the novels as much as the longer plot threads that go throughout the books. Every time Agatha's eyes are described as bear like, it cracks me up. (
