About this listen
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!

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

But as Sloan became emotionally and economically reliant on him, he in turn developed a disturbing obsession with her—one that becomes increasingly dangerous every day.

Agatha Raisin Lives!!!
I loved the story!! I was so sad about M.C. Beaton passing but so grateful she allowed R.W. Green to continue the character that I so enjoy. And having Penelope read was the icing on the cake!! A refreshing read with a great story line. Please continue her character and definitely keep Penelope as reader…she really brings the character alive!!
Can’t wait (hopefully) for another installment in the series. Btw, I also am happy with how James and all of the other characters have turned out 😍

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!

Love Love Love
First, I must say that Penelope Keith, you're voice is one I can't wait to hear. Agatha has a VERY special place in my heart and as soon as the book started and your voice began, I was instantly happy! I stumstumbled upon Agatha about a year and a half ago and blew through the series. When I dove into M.C. Beaton, I was very sad to learn she had passed and nervous Greene wouldn't be able to copy her tone. I'm SO happy to see that Agatha continues to be just as fantastic and brilliant as she was when I first met her, lying about her quiche! 😂 Thank you for an other WONDERFUL book! I hate that it's over already. I'll revisit it soon I'm sure! keep em' coming!
Aggie's BFF,
Molly

New author gets character traits wrong
Longtime fans of Agatha will notice dialogue that she would never say. Even James has some out of character lines. It would be much better if the new author would read or listen to all of the audiobooks. Then he could get it exactly right.

Great episode!
R.W. Green continues to write good new stories for Agatha & friends! This one is quite twisty and more complex than most I recall, making it very enjoyable and leaves me looking forward to more.
Some excellent “Agatha” moments and great chuckles. Thanks, R.W. Green, for continuing the series!
