Oh my goodness! What a romp! Thank you Ms. Beaton, for an Agatha Raisin that rings true, and is so different than the TV series (even though I like it VERY much, too). Clever writing, dry humor, and endearingly flawed people that I want to read more and more about!
Entertaining light read. I enjoyed the first in the series and mostly found James to be an irritating addition to the sleuthing. But it was fine. And there's V checked off my A-Z challenge for the year.
The new vet in the village doesn't have much time to get used to his practice as he gets killed in something that looks a lot like an accident. Or is it? Again, not much to write home about. I'm still not sure I like Agatha much, but she annoyed me less than in the first book, so I guess it's a good point.
