Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death by M.C. Beaton
4.0
A water company is coming to the quiet, tranquil little village neighbouring Agatha's. They are there to tap into the natural wellspring and make some money from it. And then... of course... there's a murder. Agatha is the one who finds him, as per usual, so she raises the alarm and then the detection starts.
I liked this one. It's the usual Agatha Raisin story, and has all the great things that we've come to expect. Agatha is frosty and curt, she's also lonely and needy - but she'd never let you know.
I enjoyed listening to this one as an audiobook, they are read by Penelope Keith and she is perfect to narrate.
For the first half of the book, it seems that the murder case take s a bit of a back seat compared to catching up with Agatha and her pals. There is a lot of emphasis on Agatha's relationship with the director of the water company, her ever-longing for James Lacey and her annoying sidekick Roy. As usual there are a million characters to get your head around, but eventually you work it all out.
The animal rights group scenes were interesting, Agatha's chats with some of the older ladies in Ancombe are laugh out loud funny, and her 'sleeping around' is just very Agatha. She's constantly worried about the way she looks 'for an older lady', but she's quite capable of catching the eyes of younger men.
Loved it. Onto the next!
Recommended to Agatha Raisin fans and those looking for a cosy mystery.
