Publisher's summary

Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death

Putting all her eggs in one basket, Agatha Raisin gives up her successful PR firm, sells her London flat, and samples a taste of early retirement in the quiet village of Carsely. Bored, lonely, and used to getting her way, she enters a local baking contest. Despite the fact that Agatha has never baked a thing in her life, she is sure the pie she has secretly bought from an upper-crust London quicherie will make her the toast of the town. But her recipe for social advancement sours when the judge not only snubs her entry―but falls over dead!

Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet

Agatha Raisin hasn't quite adjusted to the slow pace of village life, or to the failure of her overtures to her handsome neighbor, James Lacey. Since the new vet in town is young and good looking, Agatha's perfectly healthy tabby endures a nasty physical exam in the name of romance. Unfortunately, his sacrifice is all for naught when the vet is soon found dead. The police call the death a freak accident, but Agatha convinces James that playing amateur detective might be fun. Unfortunately, just as curiosity killed the cat, Agatha's inept snooping is soon a motivation for murder.

A quirky main character that grew on me.

I didnt know if I liked the main character until I was way into this book. I came to want to know just what she would do next. The stories are well written and the narration is superb. I recommend this book.

Cute

The story is cute. I frequently found myself wanted to yell at Agatha for getting into ridiculous situations but in the end, I read it to the end it kept my interest.

Characters are relatable (in general)

Reminds me of Midsomer Murders. Love the dose of British wit and humor. Enjoyable, I am invested in the series now.
