Summary: OK, somewhat slow in plot and development.
Review: Disappointing turnout. Disappointing mystery. Well-written but a bit dark and pessimistic outlook on life.

Summary: Can't get enough of Agatha Raisin
Review: For those of us who love the spirited Agatha, warts and all, she's back. Determined to forget the cold-hearted James Lacey, she rents a cottage in the village of Fryfam and immediately is swept up into the village life and its mysterious happenings. Charles Fraith joins her in this novel, and although not as interesting as some of the others, it is definitely a must for those who are following her adventures and love entanglements. Some of my favorites such as Mrs. Bloxby, Ron Silver, and James Lacey only make cameo appearances in this one and I considered that a shortcoming. Also, the fact that one of the major mysteries is left unsolved was surprising to me. I felt the ending was too rushed. We have been waiting for so long for Agatha to get her man, and when she does we miss the thrill of the engagement period. The big question, of course, is did she get the right man. If my interpretation of the foreshadowing on the final page is correct, the next Agatha should be the best of the series thus far.

Summary: It's a sleeper
Review: I bought the book thinking it would be more about fairies, but it is just about an old lady who moves into a new town. And chats with other old ladys. VERY BORING They do have a murder but even that is a sleeper.

Review: I don't like this woman, nor do I like James. I like the Pastor's wife best of all the characters. Yet I keep reading these. Something about them keeps me coming back.

Summary: Agatha is Wearing on Me
Review: I have loved Agatha Raisin for the brain-breaks she has provided between heavy reads. However, the "same old, same old," was very tedious this time through. While Agatha is up to another caper, she remains as stagnant as ever. While I still laugh at her irresponsibility and irrepresibility, I no longer want to tell her to smarten up -- but to tell her to shut up. I want her to find new people as a permanent part of her life. We have already run the gamut of the extent of the personalties of James, Roy, and the Vicar's Wife. They don't change, nor does the content of their dialogue. I thought the ending was predictable, and we already know what will happen in the next book. Without spoiling the ending, let's just say, "it won't last."

Summary: This ONe Set in Norfolk,
Review: I love Agatha Raisin, and in this book she is especially funny. Agatha follows a fortune teller's advice that her future is in Norfolk, so she rents a cottage in Fryfam (a villiage she picked by sticking a pin in a map). As usual she gets caught up in village life and sooner or later we know that there will be a murder for her to solve. This book has the "manor-lord" murdered in his home (why is Agatha's book that she's writing called "Murder at the Manor"?) Her and Sir Charles set out to unlock the mystery, and discover more shenanigans in this pokey little town than they ever expected to. There's a stunner at the end of the book, that makes me excited to read the next one.

Summary: Agatha and James together again!/?
Review: I love the Agatha Raisen series. Agatha's sleuthing adventures are fun and unique. My favorite friends of Agatha's, Mrs. Bloxby and James Lacey, both seemed to have had a change of personality in this book. I'm worried that these good friends will not participate in her future crime solving. That special blend of understanding that runs through the three gives zest to the series. Long live the romance in these mysteries. Will the real James Lacey please remain standing. Looking forward to Agatha's next surprise.
