About this listen

Unlike quite a number of people, Agatha has not given up on Christmas. To have the perfect Christmas had been a childhood dream while surviving a rough upbringing in a Birmingham slum. Holly berries glistened, snow fell gently outside, and inside, all was Dickensian jollity. And in her dreams, James Lacey kissed her under the mistletoe, and like a middle-aged sleeping beauty, she would awake to passion once more....

Agatha Raisin is bored. Her detective agency in the Cotswolds is thriving, but she'll scream if she has to deal with another missing cat or dog. Only two things seem to offer potential excitement: Christmas and her ex, James Lacey. This year Agatha is sure that if she invites James to a splendid Christmas dinner, their love will rekindle like a warm Yule log. But that fantasy will have to wait for now. A wealthy widow - who had sent Agatha a letter saying a member of her family intended to kill her - has been found dead. Now Agatha must set out to find the murderer, even though, in her heart, she's still dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones she and James used to know.

Let me start off by saying if you are hoping for a story about Christmas you will be disappointed - while Christmas is factored in, the majority of the story is just like any other Agatha Raisin. However, I really did enjoy this one! Great story to the end. I do have to say that I miss Penelope Keith as narrator - nothing against this narrator but after so many other Agatha Raisins Ms. Keith has become the voice of Agatha Raisin to me so having a different narrator just didn't seem right!

Really enjoyed this one!

i am listening to all this serie I love it and got use to the voice of the reader. this new person yes, does a good job. .. BUT is too different I get mixup in the caracteres. Agatha main caracter is mature 50s 60s and this new voice is too young

the usual reader is changed

I got so used to the first narrator that this reading really threw me. It took me a mind time to get back into it.

Miss the other narrator!

I was not pleased with narrator of this story. after listening to the first 16 stories I had gotten used to the voice of agetha and this was not the same.

good story, bad narrator

I was very disappointed by this narrator in comparison to the one for the previous Agatha series. There was very little definition between the voices for the various characters.

Poor narration
