Review of 'The Quiche of Death (Agatha Raisin Mysteries)' on 'Goodreads'

I ran into The Quiche of Death by accident. (Well that's a sentence you don't say often, do you?). I was at my favorite bookshop a few months ago, and another book from the series was on display, with a small handwritten note that said that it was part of a series and that the first book was called The Quiche of Death. With such a title, I couldn't miss it - so I went to the corresponding shelf in the bookshop... only to see that said book was not there. I actually hunted it in a few other bookshops, and finally bought the Kindle version when said hunt didn't yield anything.
The story: Agatha Raisin leaves her successful PR firm and London and settles in the countryside. To get accepted by the fellow villagers, she decides to enter a quiche in a quiche contest. But the contest judge dies after eating said quiche... who killed him?
It's a pretty efficient whodunnit - a bit hard to relate to the characters - Agatha is not the most sympathetic character ever, but still, a pretty good and fun easy read. I bought a bundle of 4 Agatha Raisin - because it was 2€ more expensive than the single book - and I'll probably read the others in time of need of such litterature :)
