Book Description
"A glorious cross between Miss Marple, Auntie Mame and Lucille Ball with a tad of pit bull tossed in. She's wonderful." St. Petersburg Times
Feisty Agatha Raisin, until recently a public-relations executive in London, has retired to peaceful Cotswold, where a romance is budding with the attractive new village vet, Dr. Paul Bladen. But Bladen accidentally kills himself while attending to Lord Pendlebury's horse, and Agatha must turn to her distinguished neighbor, the retired military man James Lacey, for comfort. Together, the odd couple begin to investigate Dr. Bladen's death . . . and the curious lack of sorrow shown by his divorced wife. But will they succeed in unmasking a killer before suffering an "accident" of their own?

Mailed to catsalive in Australia via surface mail on Saturday, September 3, 2005. Sorry for the delay in mailing. Hurricane Katrina put a dent in our scheduled post office visit.

A mildly amusing, cozy murder mystery. Very easy reading. She's a bit of an oddball, Agatha, and she keeps losing the plot as she wanders off into romantic daydreaming.

Hey thanx catsalive. I'll look forward to reading this!
Finished reading this on the train on the way home from the city. At first I was a bit annoyed at Agatha as she seemed so grasping and desperate but I kept reading as I do like a cosy mystery. It was hard to keep track of all the women involved but at least it didn't have a predictable ending.
Leaving this on the train to the fates.
