Agatha Raisin e la giardiniera invasata

It's always comforting to see Agatha again and the village of Carsley, almost like coming home. This time Agatha is searching for the murder of a beautiful yet surprisingly unpopular newcomer to the village who has been found quite literally 'planted' to death. I love all the characters, and even th Leggi tutto

I have one major issue when it comes to the cozy mystery: just a blink of the eye and I suddenly realise I've spent the better part of an evening completely engrossed in mischief and murder. It's been awhile since I last visited Agatha, yet I found it easy to get sucked back into her not-so-quiet wo Leggi tutto

I continue to be surprised with Agatha Raisin! The books give you such a different feeling then the TV show. Loved this book and new character Mary Fortune who ends up not being so "fortunate" Perfect foil for Agatha and all of Carsley. So much background in this book, and we find out that Agatha se Leggi tutto

I really enjoyed reading this book and want to give a high rating and an excellent review, but I cannot. This is the third book in the series and the first I have read. A new woman comes to Agatha's village and gets murdered. As Agatha peels off the layers of truth, she discovers that the murdered w Leggi tutto

Not only is there a murder to solve, but a character to study. Mary comes to Agatha's village and succeeds in winning everyone over, then crushing them where t Leggi tutto

As the novel opens, she has just returned from a long holiday, and is determined to win the affe Leggi tutto

A potty plot and despite my hopes, Agatha Raisin still remains an obnoxious character, surrounded by annoying secondary characters. Watch the sitcom version I say, it's still tolerable than this! My Rating - 2/5

Un entretenido divertimento por si se tiene mono de un misterio detectivesco a lo Agatha Christie o se quiere una lectura ligera para pasar el rato. No inventa la rueda, pero tampoco lo pretende. Nos habla de una detective aficionada resolviendo un caso en un pueblo pequeño, rodeada de sus peculiares Leggi tutto

I don't like Agatha Raisin. I didn't like her when I read a couple of the books, in fact I disliked her a lot, so I stopped reading them. But when I heard that Penelope Leach narrated the audiobooks I decided to give one a try because I love her in Good Neighbors and To the Manor Born, and I thought Leggi tutto
