Journal Entry 1 by WigglyWoods from Chorley, Lancashire United Kingdom on Sunday, December 14, 2008

High flying public relations supremo Agatha Raisin has decided to take early retirement. She's off to make a new life in a picture-perfect Cotswold village. To make friends, she enters the local quiche-making competition - and to make quite sure of first prize she secretly pays a visit to a London deli. But alas, the competition judge succumbs after tasting her perfect quicke, and Agatha is revealed as a cheat and potential poisoner. Definitely not the best start. So Agatha must turn amateur sleuth - she's absolutely got to track down the real killer!

Journal Entry 8 by NMReader from Herndon, Virginia USA on Saturday, March 28, 2009

I read Perfect Paragon previously and loved the Agatha Raisin character.

This is the first in the series and I loved it. It was interesting to learn the start of how Agatha came to the detective trade.

I like Bill and I think I shall grow to like James Lacey

Journal Entry 13 by Bug2004 from Omaha, Nebraska USA on Sunday, September 20, 2009

Indeed a quick, fun, cozy read. Nothing terribly special, just light and easy. Not sure whether I like Agatha or not at this point, but I love the little village and the goofy characters along the way.

My sincere apologies for holding it so long. Off tmrrw! 

Journal Entry 14 by sunfi from Alexandria, Virginia USA on Tuesday, October 27, 2009

The first book of the Agatha Raisin book spiral. I am already half through the book. Agatha rocks. ;-) 

Journal Entry 21 by Tinina67 from Seissan, Midi-Pyrénées France on Thursday, April 29, 2010

I really love Agatha - she is an unlikely hero: insecure, socially awkward, rude and middle-aged, but that makes her much more likable than other super detectives. Great!

On its way to the next on the list.

Journal Entry 23 by FrancesinSA from Sasolburg, Free State South Africa on Thursday, May 13, 2010

I really enjoyed this first book in the series and have already started reading book #2. Agatha isn't a very nice person but that's what makes her a believable character. I'm hooked and look forward to reading the other books in the series.

ETA: I have received no response to my PM's sent to Bookwormteacher, requesting her postal address.

Journal Entry 27 by TiffanyAching at Burntisland, Scotland United Kingdom on Monday, July 19, 2010

I loved this book, it had all the essence of the English countryside with a dash of comedy crime capers.

can't wait to read the others, or though I do feel like I have to eat victoria sponge and drink lots of tea while reading them.
