After reading book one (The Quiche of Death) back in December, and watching the TV series this spring, I'm bingeing the Agatha Raising series now. It took a bit for me to get into book two. I had lost the "feel" of the book in the interim, and the TV series, while following many of the key story lines, does have a different "feel" as well.

I'm not really sure how to review these books. One one hand, I've read books 2-4 since yesterday (audiobooks at 1.2 speed), so I'm obviously devouring them. OTOH, I can't think of anyone I would recommend them to IRL as "must reads."

Audiobook narrator Diana Bishop gets 5 stars.

After spending six months in London, Agatha Raisin returns to her cottage in the Cotswods helping to kindle a romance with her less than interested neighbor, James Lacy. But while romance doesn't seem to be in the cards, a mystery is. Jessica Tartinck, a local hiker who has upset all of the nearby large landowners by insisting that her hiking club has the right to hike across their property without permission is found dead in a field. Lots of suspects, lots of red herrings, and before it's over Agatha and ames find themselves in danger once again.

Agatha Raisin is not your typical Cozy mystery detective, but that's not why I didn't like this book much. I think they reason I didn't like it was because too much happened by chance. There are better books
