My review:????
Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death by M.C Beaton is the first book in the Agatha Raisin series, of which there’s 31 books!
Agatha has decided it’s time for her to retire, and so has sold her successful PR business, and has picked a cottage in the Cotswolds, in Carsley. She’s blunt, used to being able to bully people into what she wants, and tries hard to fit into the village, which she finds hard.
She decides the way to fit in is to win the quiche contest at the village fête, and so buys a quiche from a delicitessent in London. Sadly, the quiche taster dies, and is found to have died from eating her quiche. Agatha decides that she has to find the poisoner in order to exonerate herself. She’s nosy and pushy, which are skills she puts to use in her investigation!
This is a funny cosy crime book, with entertaining writing, as you’ll be able to tell as I’m planning to read them all!
Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death was first published in December 1992, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
