Summary: Agatha Raisin ann the Witch of Wyckhadden
Review: I have read all of the Agatha Raisin books and I bought this one with the expectation of enjoyment. I found that the humor in this book has been degraded into the school of --how many ways can Agatha be demeaned and hurt. Before I buy another book in this series I will make sure that I look briefly to make sure that is comes back up tp the level of the previos books.

Summary: Strange Bedfellows
Review: I picked this little pieace of frivolty because I'm always up for a good British mystery. Not being much of a fan of the Miss Marple series, I wasn't sure what to expect with Agatha Raisin. As far as a detective/mystery story goes I thought it was a bit on the weak side. The crime was plausible, but Agatha as a detective came up short. She really isn't anything more then a middle aged busybody. The story itself read more like a romance novel, which is what strangley enough appealed to me. One of the real disapointments of the book however is the authors insistance to drag the story out another twenty pages once the mystery is solved. I'll probably give the other novels in this series a look, however my advice to future readers is if you are into soap operas, this is the book for you. If your expecting a Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot mystery try something else. This book will only insult your palette.

Summary: My first and last Agatha book
Review: I've read a lot of "cozy" mysteries because I like the genre. Unfortunately, I have to say that this book is one of the worst I've read. The writing style is choppy and stilted. I felt no sympathy or regard for Agatha. I've heard people say that she is funny, but I found her pathetic and generally unlikeable. Lastly, the mystery was very lame. With virtually no clues, Agatha suddenly blurts out, "It's you!" Oh, come on. I bought this book to read for a monthly book club, and I am sorry that I spent the money.

Summary: Hail, Hail, the Witch is Dead!
Review: In this 9th book in the Agatha Raisin series, the reader finds Agatha desperately trying to regrow the hair that fell out during her previous case. She retreats to a resort for some relaxation and to give her hair some time to regrow, and quickly learns that there is a witch in town that might be able to provide a tonic to help in this process. While she is visiting the witch, she decides to purchase a love potion to help in her never-ending romantic problems. During her visit to the town, the witch is murdered, and Agatha attempts to help the local police officer solve the case, and also tries to catch his eye in the process. I enjoyed this case primarily because Agatha was not mooning over James Lacey as she has in previous books. I enjoy the character of Agatha, and since I am rooting for her to have a good romance, I felt that it might actually happen for her with Jimmy. Overall, I enjoyed the book as a part of the Agatha series, but if you have never read any of the other books it would probably be better to start elsewhere first. This was not Agatha at her most endearing but still an excellent read. The first book in the series is "Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death". Enjoy!

Summary: Agatha is at it again!
Review: Missing her love (James) and her locks (she was shampooed with depilatory!) Agatha heads for the seashore for some rest and regrowth. Hearing that the local witch has a potion for everything, Agatha visits her to buy some hair restorer and also picks up a bottle of love potion. Soon after her visit, however, the witch is found murdered and Agatha has a chance to try out the love potion on a most attractive police inspector. A rollicking good read -- once I started I couldn't put it down.

Summary: Lots of fun with colorful characters.
Review: Nearly bald Agatha has to wait for her hair to grow back and, so that the "love of her life" James won't see her hairless, she goes away for a while and falls into a mystery. The plot has interesting twists and turns, vivid characters, and a great moody/cozy setting. Agatha is not un-Miss-Marple-like, and neither is the story. The whole thing is comfy, rather like a game of Clue. More!

Summary: frustratingly fun
Review: This book was frustrating because Agatha kept doing idiotic things and making bad choices--just like a real person. For once I would like to see her do the right thing at the right time. And, please, get rid of Charles! Am I the only one who gnashes my teeth whenever he comes on the scene. Great book but I would like to see Agatha have a little happiness for a change.
