Publisher's summary

The victim, hiker Jessica Tartinck, spent her life enraging wealthy landowners by insisting on her walking club’s right to hike over their properties. Now she has been found dead....

Another Wonderful Little Tale

The writing and the performance keep getting better with each book. Entertaining and engaging respites, these move along with little or no drag and broader development of characters. They aren't police crime thrillers and they aren't intended to be. Think, Murder She Wrote out some such, except these are more endearing and sufficiently varied to hold your interest book after book. The performance also continues to improve including a character yawning while talking that sounds true to type.

Recommended.

Another great Agatha Raisin!

This is my 4th book and I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. The narrator is excellent and the storylines entertaining. I’ve already added the next 2 books and can’t wait to get listening.

Absolutely love the unlovable Agatha Raisin

Such a haphazard Nancy Drew as Agatha Raisin has never before been seen. Her middle aged woes, generous spirit, and hopeless romantic attitude redeem an otherwise hilariously rude and forthright character. Absolutely love the characters and story development!

Life in the Cotswolds

I think Penelope Keith and M. C. Beaton were born to work together on audible books. They bring the stories to life with actions and characterizations so true to life we actually live in the Cotswolds.

Lots of fun

Agatha books are a good romp. I love the insights into her thinking. I find the audio book to be so much better than the TV series for this reason. The narrator adds something extra that merely reading the book would not.

Love Agatha Raisin

M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin books are what started my love for these easy but very entertaining kind of stories. Agatha is a crazy but loveable character.

Good story!

Total twist in several points and ending in a surprise. Charles is introduced in this book and he becomes a favorite of mine. Excellent narration by Penelope Keith.
