Rating: Summary: Great book Review: This is the first of the Agatha Raisin series. I had never read any in this series before. I have read one of her Hamish Macbeth mysteries. I truly enjoyed this book. I will be reading many more Agatha Raisin books. She is a grumpy character in the beginning of the book but as time goes on, she mellows (not lots). I like the characters she interacts with. I usually don't enjoy British cozies as I tend to prefer books set in America. But I read this for an e-mail mystery discussion I am in and really enjoyed it.Agatha Raisin retires from her PR firm she has sold. She moves to the Cotswolds -- the dream of her life. Quickly she finds herself bored and tries to get the village to notice her. There is a death and then when she starts asking questions, she ends up getting into a lot of trouble. I also enjoyed Detective Bill Wong and her friend and ex-employee Roy. They liven up the story. James Lacey that comes into the story near the end appears to liven things up as well. I believe there are 9-10 others in this series. Can't wait to read another!
