My review:????
Agatha Raisin and the Potted Gardener by M.C Beaton (Agatha Raisin 3) has the village of Carsely opening their gardens to one another, and as James Lacey has taken up with newcomer, Mary Fortune, who is amazing at gardening, this is the thing that Agatha has decided she has to beat her at.
Not that she’s jealous. Our green-eyed monster of an amateur detective decides that she’s going to cheat, and of course, hi-jinx ensues. Then Mary Fortune is found murdered in her garden. Agatha will just have to help find the murderer, and spend some more time with James!
I do enjoy Agatha being forthright, but do find her pining after James Lacey to be a little sad. But, every person has their flaws, and will love/ lust after people they can’t always have. I do like these as light, entertaining cosy crimes.
Agatha Raisin and the Potted Gardener was published in 1994, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
My review of the previous book in the Agatha Raisin series are below:
Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death (book 1)
Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet (book 2)
