Summary: What eccentric folks!
Review: Part of the delight of any of M. C. Beaton's books is the eccentricity of her chracters and how that eccentricity becomes humanly recognizable for the reader. This novel, more that the earlier Agatha Raisin books, has a large cast of characters and deals with sexuality in a more direct way. James Lacey gets a chance to be more human (despite being frustrated and confused by the complexity of his own feelings) here also.

Summary: This Series Stays Fresh!
Review: The Agatha Raisin series does stay fresh and remains great fun to read. In this one Agatha and James set up housekeeping in a neighbouring village in order to catch a murderer. This is enough to get Agatha going over the deep end and she imagines all kinds of scenarios with her and James. It turns out they do catch the killer in the end, and they go back to their own village. The story doesn't end there though, and Ms. Beaton keeps you hanging at the end of the book for the next installment.

Summary: The stories just get better.
Review: This entry in the series keeps up the good work and offers a surprise for those who have followed the series so far. (I hope you're reading them in order!) Here Agatha gets to "play house" with James as they go undercover to solve yet another murder in the Cotswolds. Lots of good stuff happens with the ancillary characters, too.

Summary: Another from Beaton
Review: This is another winner from M.C. Beaton, but not as good as many of her other works. Unlike nearly all of her other works, this is not subtable for a very young audience as it deels with issues of sex and sexuality. The maturer reader will, I'm sure, find this book as delightful as the rest.
