Beloved New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton’s cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin—the star of her own hit T.V. series—is back on the case again.

A visit to the local village fete for a spot of fun and relaxation turns into a nightmare for Agatha Raisin when she discovers the body of the local landowner in the woods with an arrow in his chest and trousers round his ankles.

Agatha’s old adversary, Detective Chief Inspector Wilkes, declares the death a tragic accident, believing the victim has been hit by a stray arrow from an archery demonstration. Agatha is convinced of foul play, however, and is shocked when Wilkes eventually agrees … with her as his prime murder suspect.

Determined to clear her name and find the real killer, Agatha launches her own investigation, quickly becoming involved with a family at war, an unscrupulous gangster, and a killer who is determined to make her the next victim …

I had been waiting for Agatha to return. She is learning some things and growing. Overall I think this is a good continuation of her path. Can’t wait for another one.

A good continuation

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I know some predictability is necessary in a cozy to be properly cozy. But 30 years after the quiche incident, Agatha is still middle aged. She’s still pursuing sexiness and career ambitions above all else. I’m disappointed that her character hasn’t developed. Nothing important or interesting happened to her in this book at all.

Not great

There were a few funny moments, but a large chunk of things were left unresolved. Not enough Charles.
