Killing Time

De: M. C. Beaton, R. W. Green

Narrado por: Penelope Keith

Beloved New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton’s cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin—the star of her own hit television series—is back on the case again.

Agatha Raisin’s private detective agency is working flat out on a series of shop burglaries. The break-ins seem to have taken a violent turn when a friend of Agatha’s is murdered during a raid on his shop. Although determined to nail the villains, Agatha still makes time to help Sir Charles Fraith prepare to stage a massive, hugely glamorous, promotional event in the grounds of his ancestral home, Barfield House.

When Agatha begins to receive death threats and narrowly avoids being abducted by kidnappers, she takes advantage of a previously arranged trip to the island of Mallorca to lie low for a while. There she meets her partner, former police officer John Glass, who is now working as a dance instructor on a cruise liner. Their relationship founders over John’s apparent closeness to his stage dance partner, Louise. Putting her love life on hold, Agatha heads home, having worked out who has been threatening her life.

Can Agatha track down whoever it is that wants her dead, nail her friend’s murderers, and rescue her romance with John Glass? Everything comes to a climax at the Barfield Extravaganza when Agatha also manages to solve a 400-year-old Cotswold murder mystery!

A lot of mysteries

Raisin investigation was the wrong place to cross. The team was a well oiled company. With Agatha Raisin was in charge. Three different cases rolled into one. A murder of a friend. All was worked out by the team .

James in the Rearview Mirror

I love the new track Charles is taking pursuing Agatha and I am so glad James is finally is in the friend zone

Great story! Best one in a while. Loved it

This felt like old Agatha. The storyline was great and I loved the ending. I can't wait for another one.

I love Agatha Raisin

The new author does an excellent job with the characters. The new books are seamless with the older books

We love Penelope!

RW Green did it again. another excellent Agatha adventure and of course, dear Penelope. No one else does Agatha like her.

A fun and interesting audio book as usual

Agatha Raisin is always sure to entertain. This is no exception. I loved the story line and characters. Thanks for the wild ride!

Penelope Keith in her element

This is a fine narration by Penelope Keith doing Agatha Raisin perfectly. Cozy mysteries are cozy, but the narrator is all important.

decent

I absolutely love Agatha but this one wasn't one of my favorites. it was good though.

Ágatha is back!

Ágatha is such a wonderful character with flaws and brilliant abilities. The rest of the characters are believable. The storyline is complicated with several different crimes and a fete. Of course, Agatha solved them all. Alls well that ends well in this humorous mystery.

Perfection!

How is it possible that this series keeps excelling? No mystery there - What a blessing for R.W. Green to carry the torch of M.C. Beaton's work - and - Penelope Keith is simply THE BEST! The characters remain our best friends - and the multilayered storylines are perfection!
