Goodreads Blurb

Agatha Raisin decides to leave her PR job in London to enjoy the delights of an early retirement in a quiet village in the Cotswolds, where she soon gets bored but is eager to fit in. Showing off her "talent" in the parish cooking competition should make her popular -only if her quiche didn't kill the judge. Thus, Agatha must reveal the bitter truth: she bought the fatal quiche from a caterer. To clear herself, she has only one solution: identify the murderer.


Thoughts

I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed this book, I went in blind, not knowing what to expect, and I was glad I did. This book was such a quick read, I just ended up breezing through it.

I found myself loving Agatha as a character, she was such a ballsy character, and had this presence where she knows what she wants and she doesn't mess around.

The writing was fantastic, and I did find myself second guessing who the poisoner could be in this book. I found this book not to be predictable (which in a whodunnit is always a good thing), you don't want to be guessing who the culprit is while you are only 20 pages in.

Overall, I loved this book and thought Agatha was just a stand out character for me. Watch out for my review of the next book in the series coming soon.
