Welcome to Litsy!

I love Agatha Raisin! She's a mid-life woman who always ends up in the middle of murder investigations. Agatha has finally married James, who I think is a jerk, but things aren't as happy as she thought they would be married. When James ends up missing and a woman acquitance is murdered, Agatha gets involved to clear James' name. Will Agatha, with the help of Charles, figure out what's really going on.

Short review: James is loathsome.

Longer review: Agatha Raisin becomes embroiled in a murder in Carsley, thanks in part to James and his disappearance from the village. One can hope that Agatha learns a few things after everything that happens to her in this book. Another fun listen.

The next book in the adventures of Agatha Raisin.

I‘ve loved every Agatha Raisin book so far, and this one is no different. Penelope Keith once again narrated it on audio like a champ! I love her voice!

I ❤️ Agatha! I‘m so happy that it looks like James “Twat Waffle” Lacey is out the picture finally!!! His treatment of Agatha in this book was beyond deplorable. Charles is amazing and I loved finding out the reason why he is so cheap lol. This was probably one of my favorite of the series so far.

I listened to the majority of this on Wednesday and Thursday while #audiocooking — I had a hard time putting it down! I really like how, even though these are technically cozy mysteries, they don‘t follow a typical predictable formula. I love Agatha despite her flaws and I like her more with each book. Her love life is in shambles as usual and of course there‘s a dead body or two. I love this series! 5⭐️

Why not give love a second chance and relight an old flame?
Another brilliant title by M.C Beaton! Definitely recommend! ☺

The title of this is spot on - Agatha and James's relationship at the beginning was beyond annoying (although the title is probably referring to other aspects of the plot). I almost couldn't stand to keep listening but luckily the story moved on and I liked the rest of it.

Not feeling the greatest so did the rare thing and called in sick today. Just gives an opportunity to catch up on book reviews from #24in48 !

Agatha is at it again, solving crimes with a cast of characters that are humorous and flawed. In this particular book, I felt so bad for Agatha - you kind of get the gist of the mood from the title. Yet, she perseveres, in the way she knows how.

My A for #litsyAtoZ and fits #readharder for one sit book.

Finished book one! Review later, as I take a little break. #24in48

Morning kitty chores completed, some caffeine in me, and a huge level of excitement. Here I go in 5, 4, 3, ...#24in48

iPad charging for keeping track of time read, first book to read ready on my nightstand, and my alarm is set for 5am. I‘m very excited for the #24in48 readathon! It‘s my third time, and I‘m hoping my third time to reach 24 hours.

Starting to collect my pile for the #24in48 readathon, if I don‘t read them before then!

A light fluffy read. I love reading this series . I watched some of the TV series and loved it. Now when I read I have the actress who plays Agatha in my head. Normally don't like that but in this case makes it a better read for me.

Oh, my little Chico... he's helping me with my headache (that I'm trying to cut off before it becomes a migraine). I've had off for this whole week except for today when #litsypartyofone starts, of course, and not only did I wake up with this doozy of a headache, but I have to mail something for my neighbors and sign some financial paperwork this afternoon too. Plus work at 3:30. Blerg! Off to take more meds and coffee. And hopefully read!!!

Went to the library today to return one forgotten book. Did a quick walk around and came home with these. Can't help myself.. Will definitely read the top and bottom one. The others I shall see.

This was slightly longer than most of the books in the series, and I feel it was a better read for this very reason - it allowed a bit more depth in the story. Interesting to see how the relationship between Agatha and James Lacey developed. Her personal life is rather like a car crash!

Just started this one, things don't seem to be going well in Agatha's marriage!
