The Agatha Raisin Mysteries, Book 34

Narrado por: Penelope Keith

Beloved New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton’s cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin—the star of her own hit T.V. series—is back on the case again.

A visit to the local village fete for a spot of fun and relaxation turns into a nightmare for Agatha Raisin when she discovers the body of the local landowner in the woods with an arrow in his chest and trousers round his ankles.

Agatha’s old adversary, Detective Chief Inspector Wilkes, declares the death a tragic accident, believing the victim has been hit by a stray arrow from an archery demonstration. Agatha is convinced of foul play, however, and is shocked when Wilkes eventually agrees … with her as his prime murder suspect.

Determined to clear her name and find the real killer, Agatha launches her own investigation, quickly becoming involved with a family at war, an unscrupulous gangster, and a killer who is determined to make her the next victim …

Nothing says Agatha Raisin like Penelope Keith

Penelope Keith does a consistently outstanding job reading the Agatha Raisin series. I hope there will be more in the future! Love the series!

Another fun outing with Agatha

I appreciate that Green is keeping Agatha’s stories going. I think that he has slightly shifted Agatha’s personality and softened it a bit, making her a bit more reasonable, so that we can have the scene where Agatha and James talk reasonably to a reasonable conclusion. Hallelujah! However, we still have the Agatha who is always checking her appearance, wondering about her clothes and makeup. Classic Agatha. I’m so glad.

Excellent storyline

I loved hearing Agatha’s voice . If I had to add something, it would be a storyline of Toni and other characters having love interest and time in their own homes with things going on in their lives. Another winner!!!

Agatha with heart and soul

I liked that several others were deeply involved, the impact of investigating had consequences, such as tracking a suspect, alone, and Mrs Bloxby is shrt with an arrow.
Agatha has compassion, able to consider others. love she is falling in love.

always love agatha

love it all. good mystery. good story. good characters. love MC Beaton. keep them coming! big fan.

Great as Usual

The characters was great and the story moved along at a great pace! Ms Keith’s performance was awesome!

Love this Agatha!

This Agatha is so much better. The story was a bit light and meandering, yet I enjoyed it nonetheless. So glad R.W. Green has taken the torch for this series. Let Agatha be immortal! He’s got a great touch. And as always Penelope Keith is incredible.

Another wonderful book!!

I enjoyed this fabulous book. Another wonderful story and Penelope Keith.., you are the the only voice for our Agatha.

Love Agatha…and Penelope Keith!!

I love Agatha!! Can’t wait for the next book—must keep Penelope, she’s the best. I would like more of Bill…totally miss the sleuthing combo of her and Charles(please bury the hatchet, it was a misunderstanding that never got resolved—I hate that), and even James! They were always showing in perfect time to rescue Agatha!!What happened to Phil and the first office secretary?? Keep Roy and the vicar’s wife—miss their long conversations over sherry😉

Dead on Target

I very much enjoyed this book. My only criticism is I felt like Agatha is getting a bit meaner. I will go back and reread previous books to see if I feel this is correct.
