"The Quiche of Death
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. Alas, the competition judge succumbs after tasting her perfect quiche, 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!

The Vicious Vet
Agatha Raisin is enjoying life in the pretty Cotswold village of Carsely. It even seems likely that the attractive new vet, Paul Bladen, has taken a shine to her. But before romance can blossom, Paul is killed in an accident with Lord Pendlebury's horse. Only ... the circumstances are rather suspicious. Agatha decides she must once more play amateur investigator. And this cloud has a silver lining - she can persuade her stand-offish neighbour, James Lacey, to become her partner in the quest. As usual, Agatha rushes in, heedless of the lurking menace to both James and herself." (back cover)

I finally read the book. This was my first introduction to Agatha Raisin, and I didn't always know whether to call her exploits funny or just plain silly. Regardless, I quite enjoyed her light and humourous company, so hope to spend more time with her at some point.

Thank you for these two Agatha Raisin stories! It'll probable take (a long) time before I start reading, but eventually it will happen :D

And BIG thanks for taking a bagful of wishlist books to Tampere's BC meet-up!
