This book is # 14 in M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin series (total of 25 books.) Agatha Raisin, snug and warm in her Carsley cottage, has that same old feeling--boredom--until a report of a haunted house sends her and handsome new neighbor Paul Chatterton to investigate. Suddenly middle-aged Agatha is aglow with romance and excitement. But the glow fades fast. It turns out Paul is a . . . Oops, don't want to give away too much.

Sorry for taking so long to journal the book. It got misplaced with some other books. This will be my first Agatha Raisin book and I look forward to reading it. (P.S. my cat's name is Agatha, aka Aggie.)

The start was promising, but soon it was clear that there was no haunting at all...
Anyway, a good plot, though it might have been better if shorter. For my taste, the last part involved many visits from Agatha with Paul (or Charles) to different Cotswolds towns to see different witnesses or suspects. Easy to lose track.
Having said this, Agatha is a character I have always liked, she is down-to-earth and easy to identify with as a middle-aged lady... Her clothes are described, but without the fussy details by Ms Higgins Clark, more like a description of her attitude or state of mind.
Thanks for sharing, barbieq233; the book will soon travel to its new reader. :)
