Agatha Raisin
is quite a character. She's middle aged, outspoken, and still in
the process of finding herself. Agatha doesn't let age or anyone
slow her down. She loves a good mystery and wants to enjoy a healthy
relationship with the opposite sex -- if she can get just one of
her two current interests to participate. Agatha enjoys a little
time in close quarters with her ex and attempts to connect with
a handsome newcomer.
Agatha's current
mystery is a body roasted on a spit like a pig. The victim turns
out to be an unlikeable police officer everyone in the Cotswold
area has had a run in with him, including Agatha. She threatened
him after he ticketed her for taking her hands off the steering
wheel while the car was sitting still. The mystery itself takes
a turn here and there but eventually leads Agatha and her friends
in a correct, but deadly direction.
Listeners will
have various reactions to Agatha, depending on what she·s
up to. The sub-characters play off her character very well. And
let·s not forget her two cats. It's a solid group of characters
that make for a very entertaining series.
Narrator of
the audio version is Penelope Keith. She really does justice to
Agatha·s character -- it's quite funny.
